The Connecticut gun store that sold two guns at the scene of the Newtown elementary school massacre had more than 500 violations of federal firearms regulations, reports the Journal News of Westchester County.
Still, the ATF allowed the store to stay open without yanking the license until after the shooting, the Journal News wrote.
That comes despite ATF allegations that the store was knowingly selling guns to felons, which is a federal crime.
ATF also found the store failed to properly keep records on gun sales and even entered the wrong serial numbers on some, according to the Journal News.
