Cheaper Than Dirt Suspends Online Gun Sales

Vanity & Facebook

[mnehring]

Texas online gun superstore Cheaper Than Dirt posted on Facebook today:

Cheaper Than Dirt! is suspending online sales of firearms effective immediately. We are reviewing our policy internally, and will continue to be the leader in the outdoor industry with our full line of gear and accessories.

They have also removed all firearms from their website.

Another business capitulates. We don't need gun grabbers when our own side will bend over and do whatever they want. I have spent thousands at CTD but will hold off on any further spending until they do the right thing. Tell them what you think on their Facebook page

The retailers shutting down will produce a tsunami of people that have been sitting on the fence thinking that they should buy before they cant.

I shopped at Dick’s for gear, especially the clearance racks - got some good deals. But not after a stunt like this.

And to add to their chutzpah, Dick’s just emailed me their Holiday Gift List! I told them a few suggestions on where to stick it.

Im watching the chaos on their facebook page. Over 80,000 likes removed in under one hour, and pages of nasty comments.

Screw em, they are overpriced anyway, quite frankly we have enough BS to worry about, the last thing we need is people who are on our side caving in.

I don't even need anything, but am feeling the overwhelming urge to buy, buy, buy. Next I suspect there will be a knock at the door or maybe just a boot. Obama’s new America is going to be a grim place. Check out the concept trailer for Gray State for a look at the future.

Based on the five thousand comments on CTDs Facebook page in the past hour, I would suspect people will only stay loyal to them as they stay loyal to the 2nd Amendment instead of bending over as they seem to have done.

I had something like 160 mutual friends with the CTD page when I posted this article. It is down to 14.

I’ve been planning on adding an AR, XDs and 1911 before the end of the year and thought I would have time...now, I’m not so sure.

[listenhillary]

See your local gun dealers. Keep them alive.

[VeniVidiVici]

Hmmm. Wonder if now would be a good time to try and swap a mediocre SKS for a Glock 21SF with somebody :-)

Right up their “holiday” arse.

“Those punks. I just ordered a bunch of mags from them the other day. That’s the last purchase I make from them.”

I ordered ammo from them Sunday, it’s been shipped. Won’t order anything else from them. In past years, I bought a lot of camping stuff, etc. from them. No more.

Academy Sports is the place if you don’t have a local FFL.

[TADSLOS]

Dollars to donuts that at least one of the firearms of the perp’s mom in CT was purchased thru CTD.

My wife is going shopping today for candles. I have a feeling she’ll come back with something bigger she is fuming so much.

[eyedigress]

I have noticed that “Belk” stores make a strong point of saying “Merry Christmas”. I know it’s unrelated but just wanted to share.

[mnehring]

Check out #43. It looks like they are bending over too.

It appears that Cabelas is still with us.

Dicks is good for when you just need a single box of ammo for something. I went into my local Dicks during lunch because Im visiting my uncle this weekend. That requires a box of 9mm Lugar ammo for me to try out his Sig.

The saleperson in guns said Dicks cancelled their ammo shipments this week. The counter was full of the useless crap ammo ... they had no quality ammo at all.

He said they might get a shipment on Friday, but he doubts it.

I would think people should stay loyal to CTD, I have done business with them since they first started, wasn’t always peaches and cream but boycotting them now is just...illogical.

Agreed. Voice your displeasure, but aim your main anger at the folks behind the scenes and especially the manipulative mass media.
