Default Seller of Sandy Hook Firearms Loses License

On Friday, April 5, 2013 10:50:16 AM UTC-5, F.O.A.D. wrote:
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.



ATF spokesperson Deb Seifert declined to give specific reasons to the

Journal for revoking the shop’s license, but just said, “It’s final at

this point.”



The shop reportedly sold both guns used in the Newtown shooting as well

as a 2010 mass shooting at Hartford Distributors Inc. that left nine dead..



At the time of the Newtown shooting, the shop’s owner LaGuercia, said in

a statement, “There is nothing more devastating than the loss of a

child, and I am absolutely appalled that the product that was sold

several years ago would be used in this type of crime … We are

cooperating with law enforcement in their efforts to get to the bottom

of this senseless tragedy.”

Wish the rationale for doing this was available.
