Publicity stunt?

I’ve bought from ctd, and I’m surprised to hear this news. Wonder what’s happening behind the scene?

Heck, they quit shipping certain guns to California a long time ago, even guns that were and are still legal in California (I know; I tried to buy some). But this does it for me. I, too, have spent thousands on toys and ammo at CTD. But no more. I'm done with them (wonder if I should ask them to delete my account, just to drive home the point?).

F'n wimps, you'd think Soros bought them out or something.

I just noticed that Academy has removed all AR type rifles from their website as well (with the exception of .22 versions).

http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearch?Rc=100&catalogId=10051&rel=nofollow&langId=-1&storeId=10151&N=39632024&Nao=100

All of their Red Jacket line has been removed too, clothing, rifles, and handguns.

“Cheaper Than Dirt Suspends Online Gun Sales”

I wanna be part of the story toooooooo!

How about these stupid pr*cks just shut up and wait for this temper tantrum to blow over instead of reacting like a bunch of sissies?

I’ve never bought a gun from them, but a lot of other items. I don’t understand what the issue is - they can’t ship direct in any case - the transaction has to go through a FFL dealer, along with the usual ID and background check at point of sale.

Kinda sews things up for them as far as any purchasing by me.

Companies that bend to idiot pressure should be termed: “Boehnervendors”.

And should be treated with as much reverence as we treat the RINOdork.

The commentary for CTD is overwhelmingly against their decision.

The comments for Dick’s is overwhelmingly in support of theirs.

Shows you clearly who shops where...

We’re becoming a nation of wusses. We must stop being bullied. I know I was bullied a lot as a kid and Mom told me the only way is to stand up for myself. She said, “you will get hurt, sometimes rediculed but you must be strong. Sometimes things are not fair, I got paddled in grade school for standing up for myself, but still, I did. We are in the fight for our lives and way of life here and these people cave? I feel sorry for the French, I think we are a bit unfair to them, they got beat due to bad decision processes in WWII, the French Resistance did fight on, with our help of course. Still, what we attribute to the French, can be said of many in our country. Bronco Bama is not a ghod. We must quit fearing him like he is one and telling him and the Alinskyites to go fly a kite. Sure there are times we can be scared, sometimes I feel it too, but we must know our cause is the right on e and do the right thing and stand up. I wonder why gramps went to Normandy at times.

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

This one surprised me. Sent em a note and won’t ever support them again. Dick’s Sporting Goods - stopped supporting them a LONG time ago.

I was just on their site this AM trying to order a new varminter. That’s several C-notes gone to their competition and CTD will never see me again.

Just went to CTD.com, logged in, went to Contact us, sent a message telling them to cancel my acct...that, after their cowardly actions, I would never do business with them again.

Also found an email from CTD, hit the “unsubscribe” button.

FUCTD

To top it off, I went to their site and on a whim checked if you can still get magazines.
Magpul 30-round mag.

$60

So not only are they caving on weapons sales, they're tripling the price of related accessories.

There has been such a run on guns and ammo since Nov 6th, they were out of stock on everything anyway ...

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.

I hate to imply we have anti gun trolls here on FR but I have seen them in action, they want to start action against anything concerning guns.

Big deal CTD suspends online sales. Chances are they would have done it temporarily.

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.

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

What the hell, CTD????

It isn’t like they send them direct to nutters. They still have to go through an FFL, still have to do the FBI check.

I purchased my last one through CTD and have bought mucho ammo and accessories from them over the years. And I nearly ordered another one from them last week.

This ends it. Now Midway, Widners, Natchez and Midsouth will get all my ammo & accessories business, and Davidsons if I ever buy another firearm.

I am fully expecting Eric Holder to announce a ‘temporary’ suspension of FBI background checks at FFL dealers. Insane power grab? Well they have already unilaterally suspended ICE immigration checks for Maricopa County, Arizona and some other counties in NC and GA - a violation of the 1996 law. And they know Boehner is too weak to resist.
