For the moment they have been pulled from display, but they still have them available. I purchased a Sig AR15 when my local Academy opened this morning. They had received 10 AR variants on their truck. I was #4 in line at 7:00AM and purchased the last one.

They are not price gouging, and prices are only slightly higher than they were 6 months ago.

The honest truth is I probably didn't need another one, can't really afford it, but don't know what the future holds.

I completely understand and applaud them for pulling the ARs off the shelves from the stores nearby the tragedy. That seems totally reasonable and respectful. I don't quite get the national ban on the AR sales though. It seems right now is when a lot of people are going to want to buy one (before the ban hammer drops). They should get rid of their inventory before they get banned.

I wish car dealerships had enough respect to suspend sales after a drunk driver kills somebody with their assault vehicles.

Also, since the one of the top killers of folks in the US is heart disease I call for all grocery stores to pull salt, butter, etc. off the shelves, McDonalds to quit selling burgers and move to grilled chicken breast only, etc.

Maybe I will make a Facebook page for this?

Mmmm. If he had used a chainsaw should Home Depot and Lowes pull all chainsaws off the shelves?

IMHO a gun is just a tool, and just like any other tool is only as dangerous as the user.


If all the Mental Health clinics in the area had opened their doors for free evaluations, that is something I would applaud.

I would be just as supportive if Home Depot put their chainsaws away for a couple weeks if somebody had chainsawed to death 20 children and 6 adults.

"Do it for the Children"

This argument is tough one for me to swallow, and I don't think it holds much water.

This is indeed a very, very sad situation. I can't even imagine what those families are going through. However I don't agree with Dick's knee jerk reaction, and at the end of the day is unnecessary purely symbolic gesture.
