Default cheaper than dirt - no guns

Looks like the first big online gun distributor has decided to cease all gun sales and grossly increase pricing on high capacity mags. Knee jerk for sure and I'm sure it's only the beginning. I live how their face book page has so many pictures regarding the 2nd amendment yet they just spit on it.

I CALLED at 1pm EST and spoke to this old twat waffle explaining that I had the december sale paper and I wanted them at $14.97

She said she had no control over a manufaturer's price and that Magpul had raised their price due to demand.

I said- So you're not willing to honor your own distributed sale paper?

She said- those are printed 90 days in advance and we reserve the right to change prices.

I said- I reserve the right not to buy from you

As I was hanging up I heard her saying- Good luck finding them at a decent price anywhere!

And then went to Botach where I bought 20 at $12.30 with free shipping

No surprise. I figured it would be coming "at the right time" and this appears to be it. To bad all it would do is make "assault weapons" more expensive for legal purchasers. Of course there is also this silliness from the land of the perpetually silly.
