sperman Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Cheaper Than Dirt has announced that it will be selling guns again. That this "stoppage" was just so that they could review their processes and make sure there were no issues. Basically CYA. Since they only ship to FFL and do no direct consumer delivery they were pretty well covered. The price gouging though was a bit silly yesterday. My guess is they stopped selling guns so they could triple the price before all of the inventory is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) ….shall we discuss automobile safety belts? That 30-40k people die a year in them, yet there's no public outcry? Or that they predict 440,000+ people will die from cigarette related illness this year, yet there's silence the people who are screaming now about guns. Yet "AW" deaths are an epidemic, few as there are. Not about guns, it's about control. Edited December 23, 2012 by cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentG Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Careful please. I'm a very liberal many gun owner. I've not commented lately on the thing that happened because there is nothing good to say. Both sides need to be cool right now. All of us as responsible gun owners whom enjoy the sport frequently things like this are just bad news no matter how you look at it. Sorry but those things really dont go hand in hand nowdays. Time to pick a side. This thread will be locked in less than 10 minutes. Your either for us or against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Since this thread has drifted I'd like to add a comment about the pricing we are seeing in the marketplace. In the last 2 weeks, we have probably doubled if not trippled the number of buyers of AR-type rifles and magazines as a result of the comments made by our elected officials. The supply was not able to keep up and the result of a free market when demand is high and supply is low in an increase in price. In a month or 2, the demand will subside and the supply will catch up and the market will normalize. Unless the same elected officials are able to make good on their stated goals.

I'm hoping this is how it'll go. Live in Va. I'm visiting CA for the holidays. I'm heading to some gun shops to see some neutered AR's, er regulated that is. Just reading the how to buy a gun in CA page on the neatest shops site it's way more costly and time consuming to purchase a gun in Cali. As Cali is a trend stetter for many regulations for rest of the nation I'm curious and a bit frightened about what could be heading east for sporting gun owners.

I'm in Cali, and everyone here still thinks it waay to easy to get a gun.. I've even heard other gun owners say this, it makes me sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
