DHS/FBI went around to all mil-surp/prepper and I'm sure gun stores about a year ago asking them to "voluntarily" participate in this "citizen watch" program of theirs. I read their letter and was a little spooked by it.
Walmart is supposedly still selling AR's (if you can find one), they just removed it from their website.
Cheaper than dirt was selling a 20 round box of PMC Bronze for $20 around noon today, now down to $12 and some change. Black Pmags were going for $50 each. FDE are now $29.97. Now I have nothing against free market capitalism but this is ridiculous. They wont get any of my money ever again.
I was in Dick's tonight and was told by the gun counter guy that they were instructed to remove all AR's from the sales floor. They aren't doing anything with them yet so who knows what they'll do. Dicks and Sports Authority had sales on select ammo of buy one, get one 50% off. Makes me wonder if they are going to get out of the firearm biz.
