Dick's Sporting Goods, which promised to suspend sales of modern sporting rifles "out of respect" for the victims of the Newtown massacre has found a profit-friendly loophole. The company is instead selling AR-15 style rifles, including the Bushmaster used by Adam Lanza, at its new spin-off Field & Stream.

William Spengler Jr. — the man in upstate New York who ambushed four firefighters yesterday, killing two — left a three-page suicide note including this line, made public by police:

An investment firm that owns several major firearms manufacturers, including the company that produces the assault rifle used in last week's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, announced this morning that it intends to put its entire firearms portfolio up for sale.

When Adam Lanza shot dozens of people at Sandy Hook Elementary last Friday, he used a military-style Bushmaster .223 rifle. As America debates whether such weapons even have a place in our society, Bushmaster is running a hilarious ad campaign.
