Funny...

Email I received said:

"Cheaper Than Dirt! will Resume Online Firearm Sales Pending Policy Changes".

Website says it slightly different...

Cheaper Than Dirt! will resume online sales of firearms once we update and improve our process..

I guess they didn’t enjoy their short stay in Zumbo-land.

No links to guns at this point. We will see how long it takes.

The way firearms prices are skyrocketing, they can get some business back IF they really offer some good deals.

“Cheaper Than Dirt” don’t mean squat when the prices are all “Higher than Shite”

Yesterday, when you followed a link to a specific gun, the message displayed said, “Cheaper than Dirt does not sell firearms”.

Not, “Cheaper than Dirt has temporarily suspended firearm sales”.

And, you’d think they’d have given this information up front to keep the speculation to a minimum.

Smells fishy to me. I think they realize it was a bad move and now they’re backing off.

That's called backtracking!

I hope they backtrack the liberal idiot who came up with that harebrained idea right out of his job.

Why do these guys always have to go into gun sales, or hardware sales, or some other such manly line of work? Why aren't there hand-wringing companies out there they can go to work for?: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, this is the XYZ Handwringing Co... You tell us your sad story and we'll stand around wringing our hands over it... and our rates are reasonable!

I assume they were overwhelmed by PO’d former customers like me.

I probably would do the same thing. Make sure all your ducks are in order.

There will probably be thousands of trial attorneys ready to sue anyone that sells a gun. Paperwork and procedure is in order.

Too bad they didn’t consider the backlash before caving. We’ll find somewhere else for our online purchases. It’s a principal thing.

Has anyone been able to find a good source for 30 round C mags at the price they were a month ago (about $10)? That is how much CTD used to have them before jacking them up to $60. Most places now have them up around $30.

CTD is still not selling 30 round Pmags.

Check out the price of 30 round pmags on gun broker. Last week you get 30 round pmags for $12.00 now they are $40 and up on gun broker and it looks like people are buying them at that price.

I couldn’t get any mags for .308 or 7.62 anywhere on the net. The high capacity mags 20+ are going to be real pricey if you can get them at all. If he kills gun shows, people are just going to buy and sell in their homes.
I think the Kenyan’s idea is to turn gun owners into criminals and then he can round ‘em up.
