No more gun sales where semiautomatic used in Sandy Hook shooting was bought


No more gun sales where semiautomatic used in Sandy Hook shooting was bought

(CNN) -- A Connecticut store that sold a gun used to killed 26 people last December at Sandy Hook Elementary School no longer can legally sell firearms.

Debora Seifert, a spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, told CNN on Friday the Riverview Gun Sales shop in East Windsor, Connecticut, lost its federal firearms license December 20 -- six days after the massacre about 65 miles southwest in Newtown.

The ATF spokeswoman did not comment on why the store's license was revoked, including if it had anything to do with the Newtown rampage.

But Carl said "probably the reason the ATF raided the store on December 20th was for poor keeping of the records."
