Late Monday afternoon, NBC News reported that the two Nevada gun shops that sold firearms to Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock stated that he had passed all relevant federal background checks. According to David Familglietti, owner of New Frontier Armory, Paddock bought a rifle and a shotgun. “The rifle was not fully automatic and a shotgun isn’t capable of shooting from where he was,” Famiglietti explained. “My staff takes their job very seriously and if there were any ‘red flags’ the sale would have halted immediately.”
Christopher Sullivan of Guns & Guitars didn’t say what guns Paddock had purchased, but said, “All necessary background checks and procedures were followed, as required by local, state, and federal law.”
