(AP) – A Connecticut 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, about 15 miles north of Hartford, in December. The agency didn't disclose why.

Maybe, how would we actually know? It may not even have anything to do with her or her son.
VT and NH are in the top 10 list for states that are the best for gun laws.
And it will scare the hell out of all other gun shop owners. They can move to Texas (And I hope they do). But the firearms license comes from the feds. The only way to stop this is by secession. Well, there’s another way but....
that’s an unlikely store for someone from Newtown to shop in...
Spelling errors are illegal when you’re targeted by the left.
You did not list Washington State.
Atlas Shrugged ... My all-time favorite book. The wisdom before its time contained therein is astounding.
Well, heck, according to Obama, they sold her a fully automatic weapon.
LOL, don’t worry about PA.
There’s going to be no “gun control” in the militia capital of the universe.
Actually, the gun laws are good in Wa. state.The only problem is west of the Cascades.
What I heard why it was yanked is because they are missing an AR-15, when ATF did inventory. East Windsor is one of the state’s best towns.
Ask Dan Quayle!
Even more prescient, George Orwell’s 1984 which was written in 1948. Orwell reversed the last two numbers for the title. His Newspeak Dictionary is classic and foretold today’s political correctness. Just recently the AP has “revised” it’s style book to remove the term “illegal immigrant”. And so it goes.
bill of attainder is illegal under U.S. Constitution.
“For the power given to Congress by the Constitution does not extend to the internal regulation of the commerce of a State, (that is to say of the commerce between citizen and citizen,) which remain exclusively (emphases added) with its own legislature; but to its external commerce only, that is to say, its commerce with another State, or with foreign nations, or with the Indian tribes.” –Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson’s Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791."State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress (emphasis added)." --Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
As a side note concerning ATF, please consider the following. Regarding agricultural products like alcohol and tobacco, before Constitution-ignoring socialist FDR nuked the Supreme Court with activist justices, Supreme Court had clarified, in terms of the 10th Amendment nonetheless, that Congress has no constitutional authority to regulate intrastate agriculture.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden (emphasis added)." --United States v. Butler, 1936.
Sadly, the reason that the gun shop owner is letting the ATF walk all over him is likely the following. Like most other citizens, the proprietor's parents/guardians probably did not make sure that their son was taught the Constitution and its history in school, particularly Congress's Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
Marlin finally left this week. They are relocating to Kentucky.

Thanks for the heads up, we fixed it.
Also please note for short articles, only post 1/2 or less of the words. We fixed that too.
For longer articles a maximum of 300 words may be posted as an excerpt.
Even more sadly, it wouldn't matter either way, because his judge, jury, and prosecutor weren't, and they couldn't care less, since it would get in the way of almighty legal precedent.
The Iron Curtain of Seattle rules the state. This voter cabal determines the direction of the entire state.
