When I think of the way the old Bullseye shop was laid out it could amount to negligence in that it made the theft too easy. It was narrow, often crowded and had many guns accessible that weren't within view of the sales desk. Any one could walk in grab a rifle without the staff noticing and then stick it under a long coat and walk out.

Bullseye, yes, but Bushmaster, no. Whether Bullseye complies with the law and good business practices is not Bushmaster's job to determine, it is the BATFE's. Why should a manufacturer be liable for criminal misuse of its products? If anyone should be held accountable for the fact that the rifle, and many others, went unnoticed when they went missing from Bullseye, it should be the BATFE, whose (unconstitutional) charter includes ensuring that gun sellers comply with storage and notification laws.
