Several firearms retailers suspend sales
 

I just read where Cheaper than dirt and dick's are suffering from restless leg syndrome (knee-jerking). CTD has suspended all firearm sales online, and Dick's has removed "Certain semi-automatic firearms" from the shelves.

Dick's suspension

Cheaper than dirt antics

These are just a couple of the reactions so far. I read somewhere where Cerberus capital is selling their stake in Freedom Group as well. Several gun shops in my AO have SOLD OUT of AR's to a greater extent than the 2008 and 2012 election sales combined! :eek: Get 'em while they're hot folks :munchin

From the Cerberus Press release:

I am not too sad to see Cerebus go. Remington/DPMS/Bushmaster quality has left something to be desired.

Others will be happy to absorb their business.

Now the question stands. Will the Freedom Groups holdings be sold off as a whole, or like so many toy manufacturers state on their products "_____ sold seperately"?

Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

Money talks, especially progs with cash:

Good for them... divest of those stocks... What's that thing Forest Gump used to say?

As of 14:40 Eastern

What an empty gesture. Just like Hollywood stopping the opening of a violent film. Do they think the parents of the dead kids give a fuck right now

Just got an email from Cheaper than Dirt saying they were resuming online gun sales. The email said they were overwhelmed with orders, and it's currently taking 72 hours for an order to be shipped on pretty much anything.

Glad I got all my good stuff already... while prices were somewhat reasonable. Watch the mag prices go through the roof again. I lucked out during the first Obama election and got all the parts kits I ordered before they went through the roof and out of stock.

I think things are going to get much, much worse before we see daylight again.

Ammo supplies "Back ordered/Out of Stock"
 

Hey to all, take a look at Cheaper than Dirt, Sportsmans Guide, Midwest USA.... All of them have almost no bulk ammo...out of stock or back ordered....Prices are gonna go up.... Stock market be damned...buy ammo and guns, I say... :)

Going to the Dulles Expo VA. Gun Show on Dec 29th I am sure it will be a zoo with lots of media...if nothing else it will be something to see......wish me luck. CSM-H

E mail from ctd.

"Cheaper Than Dirt! will Resume Online Firearm Sales Pending Policy Changes"

"Ammo supplies "Back ordered/Out of Stock"

Once again, money talks, Bull Sxxt walks...

I have cases and cases of Black Hills 5.56, maybe I should now "sell"? ;)

PMAGs for $60+
 

This still doesn't excuse them raising prices on single PMAGs to $60+ shortly after that statement. I remember CTD doing the same price gouging shortly after the '08 election.

Their website now lists no price and states they are out of stock.

You're opposed to free market economics? :D

can't believe how many firearm, ammo, etc online stores are putting "order volume is at never before seen levels" disclaimer on their websites:D. Paul Howe is correct. The CIC is the most successful firearm seller in US presidential history:D

Went to three gunshops yesterday. All three had empty racks where the semi-auto weapons were stacked. Pistol cases were scant also. Each one had a clerk on the phone eplaining to potential customers that incoming orders were almost non existent.

In this area components are almost impossible to find.

I can hear it now...

in a week or so he will claim he is stimulating job growth.

Business 101 would call that a SB (Smart Business) move.

yep, price gouging is rampant here...sig516 for $3k:eek: magpul mag for $30+:eek: and they fly right out of the shelves too! Are we really this nut?

Capitalism
Free Market System

I would recommend that you never attempt to start your own business.

Has it not been said here and other BBs, time and time again, to "stock up", "buy now", "get 'em while they're cheap" ???

Those that are buying in the above post, are getting them before they're gone (ie ... illegal to buy). There has been a ban before, and the recent event in CT might just bring that ban back. Whose to say. It very well may come back. If that be the case, are they really nuts for buying now?

$0.02

BINGO !!!!

I ordered Magpuls and Springfield standard (non-reduced) capacity mags on Monday from Brownells and Midway, both were on sale and in stock, shipped quickly and came in today.

Those paying too much now should have worked and spent the extra money they are paying now to get the POTUS out of office.

Or seen the handwriting on the wall and ordered as soon as it was clear the Dims intended to make political points off this tragedy.

And why would somone who has these items and may not get any more sell them for the same price as before? If people are paying the price asked and quickly buying all that are offered, how can the price be excessive?

TR

Yup, exactly. I actually bought most of everything I wanted/felt I needed during his first 4 years after the prices returned to normal. I had two items that I had been posponing, but ordered them when I knew things were going badly for the Republicants. If he gets to appoint new SCOTUS Judges, we are truly hosed for a long time.

Those who were Boy Scouts think ahead and remember the motto.

There is an outfit selling "ASSHOLE PROOFED P-Mags" for $40, and then donating the extra profit to the NRA or SOWF.

Dick's Sporting Goods
 

Went in yesterday in Germantown MD. rack were about half empty AND the order catalog had little yellow stickies on anything resembling a M4/Offensive shotgun etc... and almost forgot a six box limit on ammo sales.... Just thought I'd pass it on... CSM-H

You must have been a part of this epicness --> LINK ;)

Brownell's says they sold 3.5 years of AR-15 mags in 3 days! The best part is getting to read it on Huff Post.

Dick's "POLITICAL CORRECT" SPORTING GOODS?
 

NEVER SHOP FOR ANYTHING THERE. HOPE THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS....TK

:munchin

A friend of mine bought a 10 pack of Magpuls last month. He sold 2of them yesterday for $400!:eek:

I will let these images speak for themselves.
