The Consolidated Anti-Gun Business Thread Update List

So as I'm running around the world wide web today I'm noticing a LOT of places are caving to knee-jerk political pressure in light of recent events. I wanted to create a thread that I will update as they become available of places that are CHOOSING to no longer stock/sell/carry items that they deem dangerous or unfit for consumer consumption. Let's try to keep the OT chatter to a minimum because i don't want this thread becoming busy with somewhat unrelated posts. Let's keep this to reports and confirmations of places that are voluntarily enacting restrictions on items they sell. This will help to know who is in support of our rights and who is basically giving in before the laws are even drafted which makes matters even worse.

So far the list is:

Walmart (pulled AR15's)
Jax (Pulled magazines over 10rds)
Brownells (cancelled orders that included 30rd Pmags)
Cheaper Than Dirt
Dick's

...what else?

Thanks for putting this together. Don't forget that Jax pulled ARs altogether.

Brownell's? Geez, what are they thinking?

ETA: They're still advertising standard capacity (30rd) magazines on their website.

Wal-Mart did NOT pull AR-15s. If you have evidence to the contrary, please post it.

Wal-Mart pulled the listing for the Bushmaster off their website, without fanfare. I would surmise that the "reviews" were being used to make inappropriate comments.

They were certainly still selling whatever they had left yesterday (not much). Everyone is suffering from stock shortage, but that's different from pulling them. At the one I was at on Monday, they got in four of the Colt 6940s while I was there. Two of them were gone before lunch, and the other two were not going to be there much longer.

Too little, too late.

1. They should never have suspended them in the first place.

2. The price gouging ($60 on pmags, now down to $30, still double) is despicable.

I'm sorry I ever ordered from them, but won't again.

That is not true about Brownells. Just because they are out of them does not mean they won't sell them.

There's a big difference between businesses running scared right now (because of the inflammatory rhetoric with the way the anti-gun liberals are exploiting this tragedy) and being anti-gun. I'd suggest you start by writing letters of support encouraging these businesses to stick to their guns (pun intended) before you go boycotting businesses that have been and are pro-gun but are just scared and agitated at the moment.

Larue Tac has removed all magazines from website and said "no magazine sales until further notice".

Wishing I had bought more when I had a chance.

dicks sporting goods did remove MRS/AR's rifles and some tactical shotguns and .22lr from the floor and from selling and all magazines above 10, also on the list is anything that looks like an AR or MSR that includes paintball guns, bb guns, and airsoft guns. very disappointed with the direction the company has taken.

Or all of a sudden, the employees said..."Oh Crap, better keep some for myself."

The last place I bought PMAGs from seems to have shut down completely. Botach Tactical's website is MIA. I wonder if it has anything to do with them being based in CA. Anyone have any info on this?

I noticed that the Botach site is gone today too. I was looking for some G19 mags, and when I went to check their site...it wasn't there.

As to AR's at Walmart, when I went into the Walmart down where I am at the moment (South Florida) earlier today they still had a couple in the case, and were in the process of selling one while I was in there.

Looks like Botach just had some technological difficulties. From their FB page:

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

Cheaper Than Dirt! recently announced that it was temporarily suspending online sales of firearms pending a review of its order processing and procedures. Well-known for its ability to process and ship orders within 24 hours, online sales have skyrocketed to a point where it may take up to 72 hours for firearms and other items to ship.

"In light of recent events, we believe it is prudent to review our policies and procedures to ensure we can continue to provide the products and firearms our customers demand," said Chief Operations Officer Roberta Wilson. "We will resume online sales once we update our process and continue as we have always done by shipping firearms only to FFL dealers."

Ms. Wilson closed with, "As a long-time supporter of the Second Amendment, we will continue to serve the needs of the firearms community while ensuring our unsurpassed level of quality and customer service."

So, giant misunderstanding, or trying to play it off as such?

Screw them. They stepped on their dicks and now they're trying to dust it off and act like nothing happened. I've never ordered anything but dies from them in the past, but that's the last dollar they'll get out of me.

Dick's was always a fair weather player. No AR's and no handguns, Saw how many AR's were sold during the '08 panic and jumped on the band wagon. Crisis hits " oh shit don't sell icky black guns"

There's a Big 5 around the corner from my house, so I thought I'd stop in there to survey the damage at the gun counter. I was surprised they're taking a slightly different approach than the other retailers and trying to tip-toe between taking a stand and caving in. The rack that usually holds AR-style .22s is empty, but not because they are OOS. There is a sign which says they are still for sale, but not on display. According to the clerk, corporate sent out a memo yesterday instructing them they may still sell AR-style rifles, but have to keep them in the back. Even the air rifles with that EBR look have been taken down and stored in the back room. Out of sight out of mind? I don't know, but I'm just as disappointed with this policy as I am with the stores who caved in and stopped selling completely.
