Optics Planet turns on gun owners

[Marine Cpl]

I buy based on convenience. I'm not going to waste gas driving across town so Dick's doesn't get my dollar so that I can give it to an oil company that donates to the DNC.

Also, if Dick's has a bulk pack of ammo at a good price, it beats the hell out of my LGS. I do what's good for me in the long run and if a liberal company ends up putting more ammo in my pile, I thank them.

May be so? But they can't possess the mags in Cook County.

Sec. 54-212. - Assault weapons, and large-capacity magazines; sale prohibited; exceptions.

(a)

It shall be unlawful for any person to manufacture, sell, offer or display for sale, give, lend, transfer ownership of, acquire, carry or possess any assault weapon or large capacity magazine in Cook County. This subsection shall not apply to:

My point was that a federal regulation over rides a states stupidity. They have no right to stem the free trade in a commodity that has no federal restriction. The same clause should nullify much of the onerous stupidity of the safe act.

Ha, glad I'm not the only one. I get some of you are loyal to whatever you are, but I'm loyal to my wallet. Probably not the best practice/view, but when I can afford to be pickier, I will be.

I know it's still a preference thing, but can someone explain the Dicks/F&S hate thing to me? All I know was that after Sandy Hook, someone affiliated with them believed that you shouldn't have AR's or whatever else and that's why my friend said he wasn't buying from them anymore. Except that F&S still seems to sell AR's and other pistols, rifles, ammo, shooting accessories, etc. They always worked for me when my LGS didn't have what I needed. Prices are always good too.

My view is, I don't care what your views are, unless you're not selling it to me. As long as they still have guns and ammo, I'm willing to buy...unless there's something else.

After Sandy Hook, Dicks had the knee jerk reaction of pulling ARs and other "tactical" guns off the shelves. Some of us viewed this as a figurative kick in the balls at a time when gun owners and 2nd Amendment advocates were being attacked from all directions. By pulling legal black guns (gun racists?) off the shelves for political purposes, Dicks told people who enjoy those products that they don't value us as customers. That's their choice. And its my choice to spend my money where I'm appreciated as a customer.

To each their own. It's a pick and choose thing as far as principles go. If principles were truly a priority, most would move to Vermont, Alaska, or Arizona where their tax dollars would go to governments that actually support their rights.

By staying here you are directly contributing your money to your enemy.

 

[Cleck]

Gotcha. They must have felt the burn, since it's all back up now. Either that, or they realized your money was better than their opinion.
