It would have more relevance to the topic at least.Quote:

It's simple folks, there's two options for those who sell firearms:
1) They support the hobby and our 2nd amendment rights (which doesn't specify by weapon type) or
2) They don't
There is no middle ground where they think certain weapons are okay and others are not... they fit into category 2 if that's the case. You either support 2A or you don't. Period. Anyone who doesn't at any point for any reason and for any period should be called out on this fact and the decision to patronize them with our hard earned money should include this factor.
JAX pulled this crap after Sandy Hook and I haven't been into a JAX since. Guess what, my life has been just fine since then and there hasn't been a damn thing I haven't been able to buy w/o spending money at JAX. If anything, I've saved money because I would spend a little more to support a local company that supported me... until they didn't anymore.
Now, Academy is on that list. This BS story that they pulled them to keep reporters from getting video or stories is a crock and anyone that buys it is an idiot. Even if it were the case if it means getting those rifles in the hands of new buyers who want an AR15 while the video cameras are rolling for some fluff piece to be aired at 10pm... worth it. If just one person walks into a shop wanting to buy an AR15 that day, sees none and walks out w/o buying one then the terrorists have won. Worse yet, someone who has no intention of buying sees none on the shelves and immediately hops online to order up 40 lower receivers to help start the hording ball rolling. Either way, this is horseshit and the common gun owner is punished.
Just like the JAX threads... of course they have the right to do this and I never once said the .gov should step in to force them to sell anything because that's just stupid. We also have the right to choose who we give our business to and see my points #1 and #2 to help make it simple for who we as a pro2A community supports.
