Assault rifle selling on Reddit identical to Sandy Hook weapon

In the online link-sharing smorgasbord that is Reddit, you can find pretty much whatever you’re looking for. And in the “GUNSFORSALE” category — 3,000 subscribers strong — that includes an AR15 assault rifle, the weapon favored by Sandy Hook Elementary School killer Adam Lanza. The Minnesota-based Reddit seller, who has the cute Reddit logo engraved on the gun, received “heavy interest” in the rifle and, per his posting, has a “face-to-face” deal pending. If that falls through, he’ll sell to someone out of state. (Which is legal, by the way, provided the weapon is shipped to a federally licensed gun dealer.) Costing $1,150, it’s apparently quite a deal. [Source]

UPDATE: This story was changed after publication to remove a reference that Lanza used an AR-15 in the attacks.
