As long as we are spending money in the LGS they are our friends. When you stop buying they move on to greener individuals to fill their tills with money.
Also correct however, that one day, said dealer may find himself needing to drink out of the very same punch bowl, that once floated the turds that were served to his guests.
No doubt at all. As welder noted, we're specialized customers. We have a long collective memory. Members of this board will merrily tell any new gun owner about Cheaper Than Dirt's 2013 shenanigans. I'd like to think we remember our friends equally.
I think they are just protecting themselves, and livelihood.
No, this allows the unknowing to be trapped by a crazy maze of idiotic laws in each peion jurisdiction. All laws need to be consistent statewide to avoid this.
Under your proposal, the rural counties would still be subject to the state laws, which are idiotic enough. And then have to learn and memorize the even worse laws in each little county, town, parish, street block, subdivision, etc.
Not a rant at all.
How hard do you think gun shops will fight against upcoming laws restricting or prohibiting online ammo sales? Exactly. You take out the competition (who have much lower prices), then you can charge whatever you want for your product and have a monopoly on supply.
Similar to that shop in New Castle, DE which successfully lobbied for the DE law requiring 4473s to be done for every gun sale. They get to make money on every transfer. You think they are on the side of freedom? Nope.
Obviously, not all dealers are like this, but enough of them are more than happy to sell your freedoms down the river for personal financial gain. Choose your dealer wisely.
I don't have a problem with this approach. This allows the residents of rural counties to not be bound by the idiocy of high population density blue areas (NOVA).
Are manufactures any different??
Why do we not have the "Hearing Protection act" passed??
If a suppressor was regulated the same as a Sling, Scope, or stock,,, they could be bought for under $50,, or even disposable ones printed at home.
It is not in the interest of the current manufactures to have them "Unregulated"
you should have a serious f_cking problem with this approach!!!!!!!!!!!!
this lets each county, city etc set gun laws that are MORE restrictive than those of the state.
I think they are just protecting themselves, and livelihood.
Protecting themselves from what? If it's legal, what's the problem?
Protecting themselves from their own ignorance and laziness
Hell yes it is. Sales would increase by 1000%
Just for the record, That was Miller's Gun Shop on 13 in New Castle.
I work in Wilmington and sometimes drive by. The place is still doing a business if the parking lot is any indicator.
Folks just don't know or care what crap they pulled...but I remember.
