Default Seller of Sandy Hook Firearms Loses License

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has pulled
the firearms license from a gun store in East Windsor, Connecticut, that
sold the gun used in the Newton, Connecticut massacre that killed 26
people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School,
according to a Thursday report in The Journal News.

David LaGuercia, owner of Riverview Gun Sales, had his licence revoked
on Dec. 20, and the 60-day timeframe to appeal the decision has now
expired.

Wish the rationale for doing this was available.

It should come out at some point. The ATF revoked his license within a
week of the Sandy Hook tragedy yet that information is just being made
public now?

The ATF has been under-staffed and without a permanent director for 6
years. Could it be that lack of regular dealer inspections and
enforcement of existing laws contributed to these events?



I thought the guns from the Sandy Hook massacre were bought by the
shooter's mom, and that she had a clear record. If she did, I don't
understand why his license was revoked.
