This is not an emotional issue.
It is emotional though, for some. look at all the f***ing crybabies on here (and on faceplant) complaining when some stupid remote won't sell them something. Instead of adulting it up and getting what they want, they sit around and cry. "oh woe is me, I live in MA, boo hoo hoo" etc. One of these days I am going to print up an MA gun owner crying towel for these people. Maurons aides probably see this stuff on NES and FB and then she gets off on it. Don't cry in front of bullies. Punch them in the face.
It's about voting with your dollars. I vote for my local shops and encourage others to do the same. Especially if your local shops owned by pro 2a guys who support local 2a community and are involved in 2a initiatives in the state.\
There are two gun shops in Natick right in the downtown area. Every dollar you spend there is another f*** you to that sheep rapist Linsky. I want to see them prosper here, not some SC walmart.
I won't have a heart attack if someone has to buy walmart gun and cry afterwards why shit doesn't fit or their CS told them to FOAD, there are plenty of crying threads. I do want people to understand, that when you support your buddies, your buddies will support you.
some business are privately held and the family or individuals who own them may choose to pursue making a statement besides just making money. I don't have problem with that, especially when I know a couple of local gun store owners who are solid 2a supporters. If anything, I'd prefer to support them over some two faced Walmart of guns.
I don't disagree here especially when its a no brainer to make those kinds of choices. People should be aware though that like 80% of the industry doesn't give a shit about RKBA, it's no
different than any other industry. Most of the people within it are there to make money. Anything else is 2nd. Although an argument could be made that regardless of the
business's motives, having another decent gun shop operating anywhere is generally a good thing.
The other fun thing is that skinflints don't understand is if you bother to build a rapport with a local shop as more than just some shitty customer the better ones will treat you pretty
well. This causes the prices to fall They fall to the point where buying something from a remote almost makes no sense. Like when I bought my last big DW purchase I paid a little
more from "my guy". He knew that his price wasnt the cheapest but he did me a solid and got the thing overnighted. I also know that if I ever bought a gun from him that was f***ed
up he would do me a solid and facilitate the shipping etc to get it fixed, sometimes not even charging me a dime for it.
I don' see a problem with Target Sports shipping to MA PDs, unless it's some quid pro quo, but I have seen no proof or suggestion of proof to that regard. They are in CT, so their location favors them over other shippers.
Yeah, well that stuff is FET exempt and almost an entirely different business. They should sell to whoever they need to sell to to keep the ship running. It is good backfill for them when
the commercial stuff dies down, that's probably why they do it.
