Dick's Sporting Goods is apparently halting the sale of certain semi-automatic rifles nationwide. 

According to a report from CNN, the retailer has also cleared all guns from its store that's closest to Newtown, Connecticut.  The chain says in a statement that they've made the change "out of respect for the victims and families" of the school shooting massacre.  It's not known how long the company will hold off on selling the weapons.
