And that in there lies the entire point of the 2A, power to the people!

a little late tho, the damage is done. Although, it would stop it from happening else where in NY.

As of now, the way i read it, Dicks sold the AR's... but they will not deliver and are refunding... so the rifles are not spoken for. Dicks cancelled the order, so they are sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Dicks managed to piss off both sides of the spectrum on this one, customer and supplier. I get the whole ticked off part, and possible lawsuit, but at the same time they can sell these to distributors all over the country and people would pay the price troy needs to keep the company from going under... Personally, i think they got lucky, the market just shifted big time, and they would have been stuck selling these rifles way under market value.

lol, let them pay to advertise to a bunch of people who wont buy from them... works for me.

if you ever moved to a free state would you be able to convert them back? Would save me a lot of money

Boxed, stripper clips, and loose. All that matters is the 855 and the 193, ohhh and of course the price per round.

Why doesn't Troy just put them up for sale? they wouldn't be the smoking hot deal from DICKS. but they would sell.

Well, sh*t man, why don't they all just have generators to begin with? would solve the entire dilemma. Your points don't fall on deaf ears, i just personal don't think it would be the better of options. i think almost everyone managed through sandy dealing with gas even if waiting on a line sucked, we managed and most peoples pockets didn't take a hit from it. Leaving them with money to effectively put back into the market. Most gas stations could have opened using generators and didn't, why? would the cost be there? I'm sure they could have managed to at least break even and keep the supply chain going. Would they have done it if it meant making money, yeah.

This doesn't make sense if you think about it regulations aside. First off, priority to get powered restored was already maxed out and is at the discretion of the power company.,if they drag their feet getting power restored with millions of customers complaining and the various state agencies breather down there neck, a gas shortage aint gonna change that. besides If gas were to increase in price, the priority would be to keep it that way.... Second, if a gas station doesn't have power, they cant pump, if they cant pump they cant make profit, if they cant make profit they cant buy said generator... This would not contribute to helping get people through the period of inflation, and helping the people keeps the market stable. If people cant afford gas, they cant get to work, or they will pay for gas and let bills lapse, all bad for the market.... wealthy people will live their day to day with less change in there pocket, keeping there sub 20mpg automobile gassed up and generator going(generalization).... I fail to see how the market fixes itself there. which is WHY we regulate it.... it would be too easy to gouge the market with an extremely negative impact. Look at what they do before the gas even gets here, they park and hide gas all over the place, they "foresee" future gas refinement and use it as an excuse to increase the price per barrel. Talk about gouging, they claim supply issues in a few years, so we increase price now...

i used to love going to sports authority in Paramus as a kid to check out all the cool guns and what not... must have been like 12 or 14 years ago.

But... they work so damn hard! They come looking for work, we supply them with work... win win!

I think Gas was a poor example, ONLY because people actually need it in order to use a car for work... you cant expect the state to just shut down for 2 weeks while supply is restored so the mansions can keep generators going and businesses can loose profit.. The right thing to do would be to only allow the filling of automobiles, and only a certain amount. We try and regulate things that effect the market in a negative way. We ration necessities basically up until the point of a collapse. Now everything else is part of the free market, you want to sell an item at 3x? your only as big a douche as the guy paying for it. In my eyes the two cancel each other out, unless you price it so high no one buys it. We don't crucify people who buy stock low and sell it high, that's all that is going on right now... The only people butt hurt are the ones who wish they jumped on the bandwagon when it was leaving the station, and its full steam ahead right now.

nascar, its hard to negotiate a price on something when you cant inspect it... typically someone will agree to pay the asking price based on vague pics and description..or make an offer, but that can change with warrant once the item is inspected.... re-negotiations are part of the business.. the bike i bought i was actually going to offer a lower amount then asked, i told the guy what i was willing to pay, upon inspection, i decided that the bike was in better condition then i thought and agreed on the asking price which was pretty cheap to begin with.

Depends, if the market gets flooded with AR's then prices HAVE to drop, people will be selling off their rifles in a frenzy as the prices go down. Manufactures will be hit hard if you can buy a barely used rifle for half the price. Tons of people bought AR's that don't want or use them just because.... If manufactures don't meet the market price when it's low they take a hit because people can find them cheaper..

not necessarily, the first time the AWB was instated, manufactures pounded out as much as they could. The ban was on producing the weapons, not selling.

Plenty of guys sweat all day long in vests... so take that into consideration. i would say it adds to the wear and tear of the fibers, but shouldn't be a problem... and from what i know water just acts as a lubricant, but over a long period of time where it gets wet a lot it will start to degenerate the fibers.

Let them ban bushmasters then.... not that many people would miss them, lol. Although, i do find it odd that it came up twice. Is the bushmaster ar-15 the new AK-47?

i think we now have more guns then the government.....

IMO it's out dated, not that it's not equally effective, but a bullpup will rock and roll in an urban setting. Companies have been reinventing how the buffer system works, it's just hard to beat out the cost and simplicity of an m-16..

I had a rather funny conversation when buying my bike off craigs list. i met up with the guy locally, and we started talking about the other offers he got on the bike... people offering half the price he was asking, offering checks for the title, and one guy made a rather reasonable offer, but then asked if the guy would give him money for gas to get home..... people are unreal... how do you pay 6k for a bike and not have money to get home? your really going to drain your bank account to zero dollars for a bike you cant afford cant insure cant register?

Get real man, its our money being stolen, one way or another...

hey, do you guys carry the burris PERP mount? I'm about to order one and wanted to check with u guys first.. also looking for a magpul AVG.
