When gas stations and convenient raised their prices post Katrina, it was called price gouging. What's Cheaper Than Dirt's next stunt? Put Michael "2 dinners" Moore and Rosie O'Dumbass on their board of directors?

I was on their site this morning and it said they do not sell guns.

I went back, and can find zero guns.

Let the market work. Higher prices will encourage more production and competition.

“Cheaper Than Dirt stays in the gun game...”

Not MY gun game.

That is easy to solve, stop doing business with “Cheaper than Dirt” just like when Smith and Wesson made a deal with the Federal government and people stopped purchasing Smith and Wesson firearms!

Use the free market while we still have a partial one anyway!

My guess is that one or more of the weapons at the Sandy Hook shooting scene were purchased from Cheaper Than Dirt. That is merely a guess on my part and not based on any info. other than CTD seems to have a sudden ‘no guns’ posture.

My dad had ten M1 carbine mags in his shopping cart at CTD. Right after Sandy Hook the price jumped from $7ea. to $20.00ea. They changed the price in his cart.

Does anyone have a good ammo site that actually has ammo?

The prices listed at CTD for these items are way too high. Thank goodness I presently have adequate ammo and certain firearms items on hand so I can wait out this craziness. I think the proposed limits and bans will not go into effect as long as enough in Congress don’t cave into the hysteria. Then supplies will be back and prices down.

A Cheaper Than Dirt brick and mortar store is two different stores under one roof and they even have two different names and operate independently of each other. The catalog store which puts out the catalog and from which you can order online is a separate store, physically and financially, from the counter from which you can buy firearms. You cannot see something in the catalog and go buy it at the store front for that price even if they stock it. The separate Cheaper Than Dirt Sporting Goods back counter sells, delivers and warehouses the catalog sales. Much of the time, the physical store front is cheaper on a duplicate item than the back counter/catalog! The physical front of the store has not changed any sales practice of which I am aware.

Whoa! The price of dirt must have really gone up!

Glad I put my new lawn in over the summer. I bought 20+ yards.

Maybe they should change their name to “Cheaper than a lot of things.”

Just curious, but why would anyone buy a firearm on-line from CTD in the first place? By the time shipping and the local FLL’s fee is added in, the cost of the firearm is about the same, if not hgher than buying direct from a local gun shop.

A good alternative to CTD is Bud’s Gun Shop online. They’ll probably be getting more of the overflow from the news about CTD not selling guns or ammo.
