NEW! A Gun Store With History Opens In New York City

gunhistoryStates United to Prevent Gun Violence launched a 3:30 video that shows what happens when a gun store opens in the middle of New York City. Not your typical place to find a gun store -- and hidden cameras captured reactions of first-time gun buyers looking to purchase weapons for protection. The unsuspecting customers are shown different types of handguns and the salesman sounds like he's ready to close a few deals, until he describes the history behind each gun available for purchase. Each gun model was used in a horrific mass shooting, accidental shooting, homicide or suicide. The salesman shows the gun model used in Sandy Hook and a model used when a young child accidentally shot and killed his mother in a Walmart. With a different perspective on buying a gun, potential customers leave empty-handed. Watch it here, created by Grey NY.
