    Last month, when Cheaper Than Dirt! responded to the tragic killings in Newtown, CT by suspending all online firearms sales in the interest of re-examining their marketing approach (presumably to emphasize “sporting” firearms) and followed that miss-step up with ridiculous price gouging of ammo and magazines (400+% markups), they got what they deserved: Swift Backlash
    lol... When I was at the NRA convention I noticed that there wasn't very much attention being paid towards the Cheaper Than Dirt booth. When I walked by one of the reps tried to hand me a swag bag; I just laughed at him and shook my head. Thing is, I don't think people like these will ever really learn. Best we can hope for is that they are eventually bought out by someone who does "get it".

    They did learn. They learned in 2008 you can jack up prices and make more money. So no surprise they did it after Sandy Hook. They have a store in McKinney I drive past frequently. It is always packed.

    Yeah... I remember people being mad at them in 2008 when they were canceling orders and telling people to re-order at the new price. I guess people have a short memory.




    They are also frequently endorsed by Glenn Beck.
    Not that an endorsement from Glenn Beck is really worth much, but are you sure he actually endorses them or are they just an advertiser?

    Glenn Beck doesn't endorse without a check coming his way.
