Unassuming shoppers on the Lower East Side of Manhattan came across this "gun store" aimed at first-time weapon buyers. Those who walked in were treated to the shocking history of the shop's wares: among them, a revolver a five-year-old boy used to shoot his 9-month old brother, a 9 mm semi-automatic that a two-year-old shot and killed his mom with at a Walmart and the same kind of gun one young shooter used during the tragedy at Sandy Hook.
