Online retailer Cheaper Than Dirt!, one of the world’s largest sporting goods stores and a top online gun distributor, has suspended sales of firearms as of Tuesday. According to an alert posted on its Facebook and Twitter accounts, the “temporary” suspension is effective immediately as the company reviews its policies and promotions related to online gun sales. Cheaper Than Dirt! has temporarily suspended online sales of firearms. As a long time supporter of the Second Amendment, Cheaper Than Dirt! will continue to promote the safe and responsible use of firearms by law abiding customers. During this temporary suspension, we will review our policies and promotions. In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings gun control advocates and politicians on both sides of the aisle have called for bans on the sale, transfer, importation and possession of semi-automatic rifles. One of the most outspoken anti-gun legislation supporters, Mayor Bloomberg of New York, pleaded with President Obama to take executive action that would essentially nullify the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Retailers like Cheaper Than Dirt! are not alone. Dick’s Sporting Goods, another large distributor of firearms, has also taken action by suspending the sale of certain rifles and removing public display cases for firearms. “During this time of national mourning we have removed all guns from sale and from display in our store nearest to Newtown and suspended the sale of modern sporting rifles in all of our stores chainwide,” says a press release on the company’s corporate website. Celebrus Capital management, an investment firm with a stake in firearms maker Freedom Group, which manufactured one of the guns used in the Newtown shooting, said it would sell its ownership in the company. While thousands have signed an online petitition calling for new anti-gun laws, so too are thousands of Americans taking up arms, so to speak. Within minutes of the new CheaperThanDirt! policies being put into place, hundreds of comments criticizing the company’s move began flowing on social networks: With free market retailers already bowing to the pressure of anti-gun groups, it shouldn’t be too difficult for legislators to start taking aim at the Second Amendment through guns bans, as well as banning the online sale of ammunition. The event in Newtown, CT was tragic to be sure. Equally as tragic, however, is that millions of Americans may soon lose their right to defend their homes and their persons as a result of half-baked, emotionally driven policies and laws. How many innocents will die once Americans are stripped of their only defense against criminals who will stop at nothing to use deadly weapons to get their way? The solution is not to try and ban or collect the some 300 million weapons in circulation in the United States; it’s to allow Americans to carry these weapons freely, openly and in a responsible manner. It’s that simple.

I'm sure high capacity magazine prices are soaring too. Maybe I can find one or two. Edit: I shouldn't call them that...I've been brainwashed.
HOW did anybody THAT freaking stupid manage to become a Billionaire? Did he start off as a Trillionaire due to inheritance? NO president has the authority to nullify any Article of the Bill of Rights,not even one that is half-black. Granted,with the weasels we have running the House and the Senate nobody would challenge him,so he could probably get away with it for a while,but that ain't the same thing as saying it was legal. Retailers like Cheaper Than Dirt! are not alone. Dick’s Sporting Goods, another large distributor of firearms, has also taken action by suspending the sale of certain rifles and removing public display cases for firearms. “During this time of national mourning we have removed all guns from sale and from display in our store nearest to Newtown and suspended the sale of modern sporting rifles in all of our stores chainwide,” says a press release on the company’s corporate website. Celebrus Capital management, an investment firm with a stake in firearms maker Freedom Group, which manufactured one of the guns used in the Newtown shooting, said it would sell its ownership in the company. Cheaper than Dirt should change their name to Dumber than Dirt,but "Dicks" is already appropriately named. What they are doing is essentially agreeing with the leftist that guns were at fault,not lunatics. Gee,I wonder how the left is going to reward them for helping them with their push to ban guns? Both Dumber than Dirt and Dicks deserve to go bankrupt over this stupidity.

Ya gotta call em something, and that seems like a good descriptive phrase for larger than standard issue. Isn't 20 round the standard M16/AR-15 magazine? Spray 'n pray!
Spray 'n pray! You are one stupid gun owner. I bet deep down you are envious of Adam.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
That's you. Being PC is not going to get you anywhere with the gun grabbers.
Sell everything you got. It's easier to get an AR-15 than to get Mental Health Care. This stuff will be free. But you will have to walk to get it. And that's what gets me about these Walking Dead shows. The puny amount of firepower they carry around. MoFo, I'll be looking like a marine standing next to Sigourney in Aliens.... IMG]
Notice how we've stopped trying to talk about school shootings now? "4) The increase in mental illness and medication is in large part because life in America is extraordinarily unpleasant. You live in a militarized surveillance society with no guaranteed health care and with a job market that doesn’t provide enough jobs for those who need it, allowing bosses to treat those who do have jobs like shit, and executives to take virtually all productivity gains for themselves. The economic model is to pile debt on consumers to create rental streams, but constant debt payments put people under major psychological pressure, all the time. 5) People are suffering an epidemic of chronic physical diseases on top of this. You cannot have a pressure cooker society which is also militarized and swimming in guns. You simply cannot.
Not all gun owners are lock step lackies like you. I do agree with your statement though, with your statement history being considered as typical of all the proof they need.
