Gun shop owner Tiffany Teasdale-Causer returns a Ruger AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, the same model, though in gray rather than black, used by the shooter in a Texas church massacre two days earlier, to it's place on a wall with dozens of other semi-automatic rifles, Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2017, in Lynnwood, Wash.
