On Feb. 15, gun retailer Cheaper Than Dirt became the sixth gun and ammunition retailer to announce they will no longer sell their products and inventory to police and other government agencies in states that have instituted 2nd Amendment restrictions on their citizens. In a new case of unintended consequence, gun and ammo sellers are choosing to follow the letter of the law, and holding law enforcement to the same standards that the law now holds the public.
Recently, companies such as LaRue Tactical and Olympic Arms have announced that they will no longer sell prohibited items to government agencies and personnel in states that deny the right to own those items to civilians. It has been and will continue to be Cheaper Than Dirt’s policy to not to sell prohibited items to government agencies and/or agents in states, counties, cities, and municipalities that have enacted restrictive gun control laws against their citizens. We support and encourage other companies that share in this policy. - Cheaper Than Dirt
Last Friday TheBlaze reported on a growing list of gun manufacturers and retailers who had stopped selling to law enforcement in states that were enacting stringent new gun laws.
Since that report, the initial list (seen below) has changed. However, none of the “big three” (Glock, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson) providers to law enforcement have stepped up and joined the companies who have chosen to take a public stand on the issue. In less than two weeks, at least 18 companies have made the decision to stop selling to law enforcement in states that limit a private citizen’s right to own a gun.

Re: LOL!!!! Gun retailer (now 6th) refuses to sell ammo/weapons to police, their motto: if your citizens cant have it, neither can you!
Which ones?
The law abiding ones
or
The criminals?

Both, just double your sales in the States that allow such weapons and when TSHTF it is anything but a level playing field already. Armed cops and civilians against the unarmed ones. The criminals with guns would join with civilians with guns before they joined anybody else. Law abiding citizens would join with cops with guns before joining cops without guns.

Fuck Cheaper Than Dirt.
$100 for a PMAG? And that's after pulling their PMAG stock from sale before the height of the panic buying.
Fuck them. I hope they have thousands on hand which they can't sell - same goes for whatever else weapons, mags and ammo they held back so they could price gouge.
Regardless of this "no sales to LE/Mil in occupied territory" public relations stunt, CDT are NOT friends of the American gun owner. They are profiteers, nothing more.
