Dick's Sporting Goods, one of the largest sporting goods retailers in the world, says it has removed all guns from its store nearest to Newtown, Conn., and is suspending the sale of certain kinds of semi-automatic rifles from its chains nationwide.
The move was made out of respect for the victims and families of last week's Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting "during this time of national mourning," the store said in a statement Tuesday morning.
"We continue to extend our deepest sympathies to those affected by this terrible tragedy," the statement said.
It was unclear how long the store will keep the suspension in place for the guns, known as "modern sporting rifles."
It's also not known whether this is the first time the store has taken such a step after a shooting that made national headlines.
A search of Dick's Sporting Goods website early Tuesday morning showed a blank page for "modern sporting rifles."
The move comes after reports that investigators were trying to determine whether the gunman in the Newtown shooting, Adam Lanza, tried to buy a gun from a Dick's Sporting Goods store in the city of Danbury, about 12 miles away.
"At this time, reports that the suspect visited one of our stores last week have not been confirmed by law enforcement," the sporting goods store said in a statement. "Based on our records, we can confirm that no firearms were sold to the suspect identified in this case."
the gov't has been putting something in the water that has to be triggered by an outside stimuli to make these people go crazy. i think the outside stimuli is justin bieber's music.
therefore, we must ban justin bieber's music to stop this madness
Im listening to the radio and this idiot (willie cunningham) it talking about how an inanimate object such as a gun doesn't kill people but the person that uses it does and guns are not the problem then turns around to say movies and video games are the problem.

hope this doesn't mean that people are going to start going after people with autism / aspergers......
I think some people have at least on facebook. One of my friends has a few kids with autism and she posted about it. That's the only reason I know at least a few people have said people with autism are violent and dangerous
i wish people would just come to grips with the fact that with our population getting as large as it is, that this sort of shit is pretty much inevitable and that nothing we can do will end it completely. now, there are certain things we could do to temper it, but most of them are secret police type shit that nobody wants on the books
