Academy sports pulling AR's?

[trlcavscout]

Just seen a rumor that academy is now in the group with jax and dicks, looks like a corporate trend.

They puled them from "display" but apparently are still selling them. What disturbed me more was the statement that they would start keeping records of people that buy more then 10 boxes of "assault" weapon ammo.

One more reason i reload.

one more reason I buy in bulk online from places that understand the 2nd Amendment and aren't a bunch of damned idiots.

I bought enough between 2000 - 2008 I may never have to buy ammo again. Maybe a box or two of defensive stuff. I may have spent a lot on ammo...but I would've spent 3 times as much buying it now.

With the personal ammo situation stable I can concentrate on buying things that'll get me thru the next crisis...bourbon, tequila, gin...the important stuff. I'm gonna need a lot of booze on hand to get thru 8 years of another Clinton administration.

ETA: If you didn't buy your cheap AR in the last year or so, you'd better hurry. I'd say there's a good chance they aren't gonna be cheap much longer.

That is why I reload... re-..brew... whatever.

Great, another store to add to the list of stores that, when I remind people of how they didn't support us during crisis and to take their business elsewhere to not reward bad behavior, I can be told that I'm wrong and shouldn't be petty.

I guess the whole idea of gauging the quality of ones character during low times and not when things are going well don't apply to corporations even though they're legally people.

[SouthPaw]

Maybe they are pulling them to hoard them in the back so when the panic hits, they have a supply.

....., I can be told that I'm wrong and shouldn't be petty.

Don't look at me. My middle name is Petty.

I'll only say one thing. Pulling AR's from display for a period after a high profile shooting makes some sense from a PR standpoint. Keeps you from seeing your store's name on the news with video of the evil black rifles in closeup.

The gun control groups made a big deal of Walmart ceasing to sell AR's when in fact, Walmart was stopping because they didn't like the margins.

If they just stop selling them as a statement, screw 'em.
