Another rat jumps ship: Cheaper than Dirt!

Dumb…really dumb.

Cheaper Than Dirt! is suspending online sales of firearms effective immediately. We are reviewing our policy internally, and will continue to be the leader in the outdoor industry with our full line of gear and accessories.

 

Somehow I doubt the second part will remain true for long. Those who ignore the past…..

UPDATE: They have 6,595 comments in 2 hours’ worth. As much as I read all were pretty much the same: You are idiots and goodbye. Have a nice bankruptcy.

UPDATE 2: CTD is getting massacred in Twitter. And if that wasn’t all, they raised the price of the PMags from $15 to $60 in 48 hours.

UPDATE 3: Facebook account suspended by them. Now they claim they are supporters of the Second Amendment. They managed to generate 11,900 replies and probably none positive and lost over 4,000 likes since I last checked.

COUNTERINSURGENCY: Because it is always good to know what they know so we know and they don’t.

Something else coming out of this tragedy.

We are figuring out who the gun whore are:

Dick’s Sporting Goods has also suspended sales of certain semi-automatic weapons from all its stores across the country.

 

I never liked them much because they were arseholes anyway.

Also, last night Coloseum Software Corp posted in a freshly minted Facebook page that they will be holding a “No Firearms Sale Day” in January. Coloseum Software does the electronic versions of the bound book/E-4473 ATF form and Day of Or Trailers caught the thing as it was started. By the time I arrived at the FB page, several new anal orifices were being surgically implanted on them by and assorted range of people. I forgot to make a screen cap of the page and now it is gone.

Let’s see who else commits economical suicide.

UPDATE: The Second Amendment FB Page found a copy of the Coloseum Software pledge.

FirearmsPledge

My proopsal for the Florida State Legislature.

I am not a lawyer or a legislator, but here is my idea:

As the events in Newtown this past week and the Secret Service Safe School Initiative report has proven since 2002, the concept of a Gun Free School zone to prevent the mass shootings of our kids has proven to be a colossal failure.

The State of Florida must end once and for all a practice that may invite criminals and mentally disturbed people to freely walk into our schools and commit unspeakable crimes. In order to do so, we need to allow teachers, other school personnel and parents the ability to defend the children against such attacks. And for that we need to allow them to use the most effective tools to stop any attack: Firearms.

In these tough economic times, we cannot impose taxes on the citizens of the State to provide for police protection for every school or pay for armed security. However the State of Florida is fortunate to have amongst its citizens close to one million individuals that have been proven themselves to be amongst the best law-abiding citizens in the country: Concealed Weapons Permit carriers.

Concealed Weapons Permit carriers have a record unmatched by any other group or even the common citizen: Only 0.3% of licenses have been removed because the person had committed a felony. These are people who have been through firearms safety training, background checks, photographed and fingerprinted to carry a personal sidearm.

Proposal:
-To remove the prohibition of carrying a weapon on any school grounds in the State to those who have a valid Florida Concealed Weapons Permit.
-To order local school boards that they are not allowed to ask a teacher or school personnel if they have Concealed Weapons Permit during class or such Concealed Weapons Permit cannot be used to terminate employment or serve as base for refusal to hire a teacher or any other school personnel.
– Non compliance with the above will result in a $10,000 penalty to the individual who terminates or refuses employment. Payment of the fine will not come out of any local, state or federal taxpayer-funded source.

To that we can add lawsuit protection for the school board against the very improbable and very few misdeeds a CWP holder may do.

Go ahead and add your 2 cents.

We will not descend this low.

Joshua is one of those acquaintances you make in the social media nowadays. Basically you connect with each other because of a common friend or interest. With Joshua was the defense of the Second Amendment. Smart young fella, former Marine and from what I can gather a gracious human being.

Friday, as sad as a day as it was, I saw a tweet on my feed and my heart just sank even deeper:

JoshuaYes, Joshua lives in the same community that was savaged by the atrocious against Sandy Hook Elementary school. What can anybody do or say from so many miles away? JustĀ  prayer and wish he can withstand the pain I know he was sharing. Being the son of a Preacher visits the pains of many upon you, I am sure.

A while ago I saw these post Joshua again in my Twitter feed. This time it was my stomach that turned.

Joshua2I am not even gonna comment on this.

But it even got better when Joshua twitted about the people reactions on Obama’s speech as he politicized the sad event and how the media present where he was ignored the pain and disgust of those present. I asked him to post everything in one article and here it is in his own words.

Here’s something interesting 4 everyone out there: If u want 2 know how the people of Sandy Hook feel about our tragedy being politicized, this was the scene last night at the Iron Bridge, only a quarter mile from Sandy Hook Elementary, which is Sandy Hook’s ONLY bar…

Everyone that couldn’t get into the high school for the President’s speech gathered there to watch the speech & get drinks. At the end of the speech, 3-4 people (myself included) clapped. When he read the names off, and what he said about our village moved me to tears, and I’m not ashamed to say that I was grateful to my President for it, even if I’m not his biggest fan. That didn’t matter. HOWEVER… When we realized he was bringing up gun politics during the speech, things at the bar got REALLY REALLY UGLY…. People were yelling 4 the bar owner 2 “turn that shit off,” shaking their heads & exclaiming in disbelief their anger that he had gone there. It’s funny, because there were PLENTY of reporters and cameras there at the bar last night, and I even saw a picture of myself in a newspaper clapping & crying today.

But you know what… there was ZERO media mention in ANY news outlets about the Sandy Hook watering hole’s reaction to Obama going political in his speech!!! Not a SINGLE news outlet reported that the ENTIRE BAR in Sandy Hook was completely disgusted that he brought up gun politics last night!!!!! I’m personally going to stay out of gun politics for now. I proposed a solution a while back after Aurora that possibly could have prevented this massacre from happening, but it never did and probably won’t ever get enough attention or coverage to actually get brought to widespread public awareness. But this is too close to home. You won’t here me talking about gun politics for a long, long time. I’m just going to call out and embarrass those that would politicize the horrific tragedy in the tiny village I grew up in.
