    Why are they hated?

    Is it because they had ammunition available (through higher prices) during the panic for those who truly NEEDED it and not just wanted it?

    Or because they donated $500k to the NRA and another $100k to the Second Amendment Foundation?

    It's your money I have no issue with the company but don't care if anyone wants to buy from them . I just wanted to get the info out. This is not ment to be a rag on CTD thread so please refrain from doing so. This was just to inform anyone who may have a desire to deal with them.

    That 500k they donated came from gouging their customers. F them. There's plenty of ammo suppliers who didn't take advantage of the people that support their companies.

    In the days following Sandy Hook, CTD decided to stop selling semi automatic sporting rifles

    A few weeks after, they started selling again and made those donations to save face.

    Many people still harbor that bad blood because they didn't hold the line.

    Ammo should be bought when readily available, not when a panic hits. It's not a necessity for life, like baby formula might be considered to be.

    However, many people believe that ammo IS a necessity and should be available for cheap for purchase at THEIR convenience. These are the same people who don't understand what "price gouging" is, and what it isn't.


    So tell me, which is better:

    - A can of baby formula for $80 with a stock inventory of 500 cans available for sale.

    - A can of baby formula for $20 with a stock inventory of 0 cans available for sale.

    I remember that. Lots of places did stuff like that. I'm not saying it was right. Owning a business is tough and CTD was in the media a lot at the time (CNN, etc.). It was also known that Academy had AR carbines in stock but not on display, as a way to detract from all of the neckbeards that were flocking to buy what they thought was soon to be banned.
