Walmart can't charge market prices for PR reasons, but their customers can.
Cheaper Than Dirt is one of the worst price gougers in the country. They have a couple stores near me. Neither myself nor most people I know would buy anything from them now even if it was 90% off regular price. Glenn Beck is seriously damaging his reputation by endorsing them.
My friend and I were out trying to find .22LR ammo for his new Mossberg. We located one box of .22LR 500 count. The price for that box was an astounding $150. Needless to say, we left in a hurry.
I don’t care people can wast their money however they want.
Buy a gun if you need or want a gun. Buy ammo if you need or want ammo.
But don’t get into the stockpiling business unless you know what your doing. Odds are extremely good we will retain & expand our gun rights because were fighting it.
Let’s see. You support the 2d amendment but the free market leaves you cold. Have you ever heard of supply and demand? You’re a closet liberal.
Is the ammo production business a monopoly? At this kind of ka-ching, you’d think new factories would spring up as fast as they could.
Really the most interesting thing about it all is when people are insulted that a gun dealer would betray the brotherhood and do something like this. Well, these aren't the old days and I keep trying to tell people... gun dealers aren't your friend and most of them couldn't care less about you or your rights OR the sports in general. Hell, the majority of them were praying for the background check legislation to pass so you were forced into their shops where they could charge you whatever the hell they wanted for a simple NICS check, just like they do now for nothing more than receiving a UPS package for you.
This episode did one thing only: it showed you who was in it for the money only and who was in it for a balance of money AND customer service. The money only bastards like Cheaper than Dirt and the local a-holes at Elmore's Firearms or Bradis Guns in Indianapolis, and most others can kiss my shiny metal a$$. On the other hand, I'm now a 100%, loyal and committed Midway customer for life. Like the guy in the video says, show your support where it is deserved and let the rest of them flounder and enjoy that last fistful of dollars they got from desperate folks, because they won't be getting anymore from me and I'm the one who's in it for the sport, not a one-time panic buy. The only time they will ever see me is when I go into their shop and use it for a showroom to buy from someone else.
