Connecticut store that sold gun to Newtown shooter's mom loses license From ASSOCIATED PRESS Last Updated: 3:05 PM, April 5, 2013 Posted: 9:15 AM, April 5, 2013 NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A shop that sold a gun to the Newtown school shooter's mother has lost its federal firearms license.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives revoked the license of Riverview Gun Sales in East Windsor in December. The agency, which confirmed the revocation to reporters Thursday, didn't say why.

Authorities raided the store for undisclosed reasons shortly after the December school shootings in which Adam Lanza killed 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School. He also shot to death his mother, Nancy, at their home. Authorities say he fired 154 shots with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle inside the school, then killed himself with a Glock handgun.

By royal edict issued from the White House.

They were told to close it and then to find a reason.

As most ATF regulations are purposefully vague, so to mean whatever they want them to, it wasn’t hard to find a reason.

Welcome to the fascist state.

The real reason is and always will be ... Because they can!

This is the tyranny of Procedure. The citizen (or business) must now muster the resources to fight back against the unlimited resources of government. It is the war of time and money and government has the advantage with both.

The communists are on the move. They don't need a reason, just do what they feel like that will move forward the communists banning all weapons in the hands of Americans.

Those were good guys. I’ve bought several guns from them and was planning to go back for another round of goodies. I’ll wait to see if they reopen.

“Everyday I read something like this and think, “how can they do that?””

This Regime gets away with totalitarian acts because the Congress is bought and paid for by the same people who are controlling the White House.

A shocking statement, for sure, but it is the only explanation apparent when researching who is donating big money to the GOPe and who is behind the Democratic Party and Valerie Jarrett.

If I was the store owner I would do anything to publicize this. But he probably thinks it would be bad marketing. I think it would only be so to people that would never buy from him.
If this is just, then the car salesman that sells a car to someone that proceeds to drink, drive, and kill someone should be shut down.

East Windsor is 60 miles from Danbury. Why did she travel so far to get a gun or ammo?

You are both correct. Ask the Reese family in Deming, NM about persecution by the Feral Govt. Nobody will stand up for evil gun dealers. They could crucify them on the sidewalk out front and the MSM would not mention it. Gun dealers are Armenian Jewish Kulaks to this regime.

If you want to get a handgun there, they will make you go to class for the CCW. Even a .22 pistol.

All part of the Obama regime’s scheme to disarm Americans. There is no such thing as armed slaves.

My thoughts exactly, with so many rules and regulations to follow, the feds could shut down most entities anytime they want.
