I don't do facebook or other social media sites, but you don't have to be a member to see their page at the above link. I don't normally do business with them. Now I never will.:mad:
Never did, never will now. this reminds me of when all the hunting writers started saying "harvest" instead of "kill". Only 1000 times worse in character and effect.

I sent them a message; Because of a murdering psycho-path ,you changed your on line gun purchasing policy adding fuel to the ever growing anti second amendment fire storm. I consider this to be reprehensible. Any policy changes could have been done later after the dust had settled. The last thing gun owners and business's need to do is act like we are guilty of something. Were not. So please take me off your business list of customers .

I sent this: "Read your facebook postng on pulling guns.... Congrats on losing me as a customer. You bailed on us (gun owners) when it counted. I'll be sure to bail on you as a customer also. Buh-Bye!!!!!"
More than likely thier owned by one of the investment firms, but I still sent them a message about bowing to the anti gun, freedom grabbing, liberals that portray us as the bad guys. Its a slap in the face to those (the majority of gun owners) that are law abiding citizens practicing thier freedom and who rely on sites like thiers. Hopefully none of the other gun and ammo sites follow suit. I would encourage everyone to contact them and express our outrage. The only way to turn this around is to not lay down, but stand up, loudly, and tell them they are wrong!

The posts on the FB page are mostly bashing CTD for this policy change. Ironic that on the 12th of Dec, CTD posted a picture of an AR-15 with the caption "The Second protects the First". Looks like they have caved to both.

Reading their FB page, they are now probably best know as "under the dirt".
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt

I also emailed them to take me off their list...they are based in Fort Worth. They are not directly "related" to a store front sales in Fort Worth (not connected in business, but they are apparently brothers who went separate ways).
I'll have to inquire to the store...
RIP internet shop...you are done.

This is really sad but what's even more sad is they aren't the only ones.
Walmart and Dick's also has stopped selling all semi-auto rifles and some Dick's locations will stop selling guns altogether.
Who buys from sheeper & dirty anyway? Their prices are shameless.

Smith and Wesson almost disappeared after they caved into the Clinton assault rifle ban. They eventually had to change owners and began to slowly regain loyalty. Colt did the same thing and became almost a non issue with private sales. I never forget fair weather friends.

Dick's can choke on one then.

I'm through with them, and just might stand in front of their brick and mortar store here.
Any real verification on Wallworld? I see mentions of them removing the description of Bushmaster's M4A3 carbine from their online store, but they weren't for sale there to begin with. I want to be sure about them before I go all crazy on any particular one.
Yeah emails sent to CTD. No longer a customer and I have spent a lot of money there, guess its all going to midway now.

I had to go to Walmart today after work and they had pulled all semi-auto rifles, not just ARs either. They also pulled Mini-14s and 10/22s. I asked the clerk what happened to them and he said they was told to pull all semi-autos until further notice.
However, I just found a article dated an hour ago that said Walmart just announced that they decided they will not be pulling any rifles.
I was in Wal Mart Saturday in Douglas Ga and they were still there, but as weve all seen, things happen in a blink of the eye.

Oh looky here! I forgot CTD has an industry forum on Arfcom. It seems folks are unhappy with them for some reason?LOL
Some Foul/Graphic language advisory (but not nearly what they deserve)...

That was an entertaining read...
They are ripping CTD a new one, good!
