During this temporary suspension, we will review our policies and promotions. link to their page if anyone is interested: Cheaper Than Dirt Poster Comment: They could only ship firearms to licensed dealers anyway so wtf??? This is stupid and will cost them many customers and lots of money.

Just as stupid as Dick's Sporting Goods, another FFL dealer, suspending sales.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken Obummer, the greatest gun salesman of all time.
It is stupid because the gun dealers who have good sense will be more than happy to sell their guns and ammo to willing buyers who might have bought from Dick's or CTD. If they have too many customers, or had too many, I suspect they have fixed that "problem."

Well of course, since AR-15s can shoot up a school full of kids even while LOCKED AWAY IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR, anything and everything about them needs to be suspended and outright banned.
I have read that something like 1,000 people a year die from aspirins and a good many die because of drunk drivers, yet I never hear anyone wanting to ban aspirins or cars.

Oh yeah, I forgot. I guess the folks who run CTD had been apprised of that little known fact and that is what they based their decision on. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end.

4-5 kids a day in America are murdered by their parents, should we ban parents. 1500-2800 people are killed by guns by people defending themselves from attack a year, should we ban people? It goes on and on, I say FUCK THEM, COME AND TAKE IT !!
Yep, got to ban parents, cars, knives, shoelaces and anything else that might be used to kill or injure anyone. Free rubber room care for all where you are promised a life of complete safety and no liberty whatsoever.

The DroneBummer in Chief will save us all with his Crocodile tears !! I hears it on CNN, must be teh troooph ;)
Jus believe, facts don't matter anymore bro', The BummDronner in Chief is gonna take us to the promised land !!!!
Fuck them all. Honestly if the Eloi haven't gotten themselves up to speed before today, the deserve to be fitted for leg chains.
Can you imagine what kind of beating Cabela's is taking as well? While watching FNC this afternoon, Megyn Kelly mentioned about the shooter's mother who would keep him locked in a basement. This was not discussed at all but just briefly mentioned and I seriously think the spotlight needs to be shed on the mother. I suspect there may have been a history of child abuse in this family which triggered the shooter to act as he did. I don't condone his actions at all. However, I really sense there is more to this story than just the mental issues with this individual. Many children with autism come from families who abused them so much to the point that the child develops no feelings of pain anymore. They can't talk to anybody because they've learned through the abuse not to trust anybody. It is quite possible this mother was the abuser quite often in this child's youth. What I saw in her was someone who was more concerned about her community standing and contributions in the neighborhood, than with any concern with her disturbed child. And her keeping this child in a basement really bothers me. I believe that what this child developed throughout time was a form of mental dissociation from whatever he endured. Perhaps, he developed a type of feeling that is almost lacking in empathy for anybody. They become so tough mentally that many label them as cold. Finally, when push comes to shove, they just snap. It's why when I work with people I ALWAYS treat people the way I would want to be treated. Some people view this as a sign of weakness but woe to those people who think this at all.
The Eloi. lol! An apt description of today's society.
Don't blame me. I didn't vote.
I hears it on CNN, must be teh troooph ;) I heard it too so it mus' be de troof, Ruth! Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.

I try always to treat others as I would have them treat me. Not perfect of course and I fall short of that but I do try. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end.

Jeffrey Dahmer bludgeoned at least one person to death with a dumbbell. Are we going to ban exercise equipment too?

For people who loudly proclaim the virtues of unfettered capitalism, you all seem eager to abuse the proprietor of a business when he makes an executive decision about what wares he will deal in and what he won't.
Freedom of Speech, look it up. I'm sure you'll be able understand at least the concept, if not the necessity.

He can close up shop tomorrow for all I care. When anyone who runs a business selling sporting goods, including firearms and ammunition, starts bowing and kowtowing to gun-grabbing morons it is past time they went out of business. Funny thing, I have noticed that cars, or the folks who drive them, are still killing people day in and day out and no one calls to ban them. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end.

Anything and everything that may even conceivably be used to injure or kill anyone, even yourself, has to be banned straight away. No exceptions. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end.

Did you know it is illegal for a US business to participate in a boycott of Israel? Where do you stand on that one, Shoonra? Are you in favor of compelling private interests to support your agenda?

You are just filled with idiotic statements. I really have to wonder what you were doing in your college economics classes. Wherever did you learn that "Unfettered" capitalism means that a business can do whatever it wants with impunity and that its customer base has to shut up and take it? What a bunch of horse manure. Actions have consequences and in this case the consequences of those actions is resulting in unhappy customers and potential customers. People walk away when they are unhappy. Had you ever taken a business course you would also know that for every vocal complaint there is at least one customer who feels the same way but who will not vocalize his or her unhappiness and instead just walk away. That is and always has been the nature of capitalism. My goodness counselor, if you are going to shoot off your mouth then at least know what you are talking about. Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your window - unknown I WITHDRAW MY CONSENT! It's like trying to explain A-1 sauce to a vegan. "I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them.

I visited CTD Sunday and Monday and they were sold out of the controversial items in question. My local shop is almost out and all distributors are empty. All AR fuel is gone as well. Their decision was null in terms of sales/profits. Purely for convenience and cheap political gain. I suspect WalMart and other big retailers were also out and chose to gain imagewise with no business loss.
Yup, but some people are willing to make asses of themselves in exchange for lots of attention. Shoonra has been to college? Which one?

Oh well, Cheaper Than Dirt is higher than a cat's back, anyway. The last time I went into their McKinney store I walked out empty-handed: piss-poor selection and outrageous prices. Besides, it seems to me that they cater to the "tacti-cool" crowd.

It's largely a matter of whose questions are presented to the public, isn't it? Did you laugh at that? You embraced violence, prolly better hook up with team prozac... How much does a new A-135 joint strike fighter cost? Do you hate anyone enough to spend that much money?

I agree. If people with whom you work feel resentment from an abusive bureaucrat and/or medical professional they may come back to visit with a; TEC 9 Hi cap nine millimeter pistol! With sights and a trigger as ruff as a cob, it's guaranteed to hit the wrong person (usually a little girl in her yard) when spraying a drive by target, especially sum dam fool who owes you munny and didn't "do the right thang!"

Yeah, but it's only a hundred or so killed per day in vehicles. It's not like it's a lot or anything. So there. Funny thing, I have noticed that cars, or the folks who drive them, are still killing people day in and day out and no one calls to ban them.

LOL! I was reading some bs story earlier on another site and there was an article about how many people died every day as a result of improper use of guns. Most of the statistics cited were people who committed suicide! I wonder if the moron who wrote the article didn't think that if there were no guns there would be no suicides. I have heard of people checking out other ways. Yeah, but it's only a hundred or so killed per day in vehicles. It's not like it's a lot or anything. So there.
