[QUOTE="abajaj11, post: 2050632, member: 3553"] I have no problem with for-profits making money....at all. They are in it for the money. I am a firm believer in the free market. Perhaps that didn't come through in the post, but that is what I believe in, for sure. I also believe that the change in CD's website suddenly from selling firearms and advertising them along the lines of "because you need the second amendment to preserve the first" or something like that (check out : [url]https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQHfy9Slb9KT5hDYwCGMYQ6t5F6BY3WF6sBlatn5wCzqPCLdZbk[/url]) and then suddenly stopping selling of ALL firearms and putting a blanket sign on their website saying "[B]CD does NOT SELL FIREARMS[/B]" when just a day ago they were selling firearms is a little bit hypocritical, IMHO. Check: [url]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTT9tjONwtRIbvBopNqisqXxezLV0pZc2EoqHn3PvZ3BmvuZaN9SA[/url] Not a sign saying [I]we are temporarily stopping firearms sales[/I], just a blanket sign saying [B]CD does not sell firearms[/B], perhaps hoping that new visitors to the site like the liberal media would believe CD [B]never[/B] sold firearms? It indicates to me that the top management panicked and stopped selling firearms. I have nothing against them for doing that....why get the negative press and suffer liberal idiots attacking you? However, there are some businesses who stand by their customers' values, and others who don't. I don;t hold it against employees at CD, who are likely firearm enthusiasts and 2A supporters (I mean why else would you work in a gun store, for the big money? ) Now it seems CD management has reacted to backlash from their customer base (who are NOT the liberals they were so scared of, BTW) and are communicating that we are reviewing policies, and will soon start shipping guns to FFL holders only, etc, etc ....what were they doing earlier, shipping them directly to customers? Of course not. Just makes me wonder what CD does with their customer records and what they would do if some gummint dude came and asked them for it. But nothing against them at all, free enterprise is great. Wish we had more of it in healthcare, for example. And I totally agree, price ceilings are a very bad idea. In any area... except monopoly utilities. IN conclusion, I plan to still support them, though will likely not buy a firearm from them ever, becuase I simply have no clue what their management does with their records and who they cave to. :) [/QUOTE]
