Dick's Pulls ARs

[Oh Shoot]

I never shop there anyway.

 

The trend is the important part. We may not have much of anyone left to boycott soon.

I went to Academy and purchased a Mossberg tactical plinkster and a 20" barrel Windham Varmint Exterminator.  I'm not sure my wife's going to be able to handle a barrel that long.  If anyone is interested in trading a 16" barrel AR for it, send me a pm.  Academy is totally out of AR's other than a 999$ Bushmaster.  They claim a new shipment is coming in on Sunday.

Remember the Exxon Valdez?

I'm almost certain that from all these years that I've boycotted Exxon that they will be on the verge of collapse any day now.  :)

Remember it well, and it's still fricked up there in that area.

 

But boycotting Exxon because of a negligent and possibly drunk captain seems sort of like boycotting Bushwhacker because a lunatic got hold of one.

It's been a few days. Can't be more than a bump at this point. Stock market ripples don't mean much either. I'm not saying you're wrong, but we may wanna let the bedwetters lose their twitch before we start planning our lives. They'll be pissed at chicken people next week. They're just like a goose... wake up to a brand new world every morning.

Yeah, they only trashed half the Gulf of Mexico, and lied about it daily as they did it. Much better choice!

Wouldn't be surprised if they quietly reintroduced ARs after the emotions/hysteria dies down. Nothing like free publicity right before Christmas.

I know we have some James haters on the forum but I think this video is worth watching regardless of what you think of him, personally.

EDIT: Sorry...wrong link...

I thought so.  :lol:

Drudge's headline is "Walmart sells out" with a picture of an AR15.

 

I'm wondering with Academy and Cheaper than Dirt if they are suspending sales until things calm down from people going gun nuts (literally).

 

I mean I checked gunbroker.com and it looks like prices are up up up, checked Buds and what AR's I could check on before the server went down are sold out.

 

If you have some ARs and sell them now for $997 darn things could be $1,500 dealer cost to replace on your next order if you can even get it. So you aren't making money.

 

Same with mags maybe the ones you were selling for $12.95 so you raise them to $19.95 still may cost $22.50 or $35.00 or more dealer cost to replace. So you didn't really make anything.

 

I think after Obama's first election some retailers got hit in those 1st few months selling guns like crazy then paying more than they sold them for to replace them and customers getting mad at the retailers over the raised prices caused by the distributors.

 

I think the politicians are going to realize that the medias will is to ban guns but the public isn't falling for it.

 

Just saying the suspending gun sales may or may not just be a business decision on cost to replace and not a statement against firearms.

 

The below video a speech from Eric Holder in 1995 is scary, wait for it at the end he actually says 

"We Must 'Brainwash' People on Guns"

I hope we can brain wash him back.

I wish instead they would give him the senate hearing (s) he deserves.

Bought my daughter a little cricket gun for Christmas today at walmart. The guy working the gun counter said they weren't pulling ar15*s and were waiting on a shipment.

went to dicks to see if they had any 22 ammo, even over priced, and would you believe their ammo is locked up and you cannot even look at it without getting an employee to help?  I won't be going back.   Walmarts is at least visible behind a glass lock so you can SEE what is there...  I understand locking it up due to value in a small package, but locked up where you cannot see it is dumb. 

Yea, 

Dicks sucks anyway. Unless you want golf clubs and other yuppie sports.

I won't be going back.  :yuck:

[Oh Shoot]

....Unless you want golf clubs and other yuppie sports...

 

Sir! The origins of golf antedate black powder itself.

[strickj]

Dicks still has a good market on sports stuffs. I doubt loosing any gun sales will hurt them very much.

Academy is really hurting them here in the Nooga though.

 

And golf? I'd rather play fetch with myself than play golf

Yep, the Knoxville store is still here, and quit selling guns over two years ago. Hell, they don't even sell fishing tackle either.

[Flyboy]

In Mt Juliet they Dicks never had any hand guns or anything other then shot guns. They suck, thank goodness or Godness they built academy right across the street, But the other night I went by Academy and they are out of almost every guns other then shot guns. They are getting new items a few time a week.

I just went by Walmart in Rockwood. They still have a Sig M400, but no others. Don't know if they are just gonna quit stocking them or if its hearsay.

Was told by one of the assistant store managers that we are not going to stop selling them, but the demand is so high and the supply is so low that we can't get any right now.

That's the general consensus. Thanks for posting that info.
