Top Online Gun Retailer Suspends Sales of Firearms: “Effective Immediately”
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.

This is BS. Individuals can’t buy firearms online. Only dealers are allowed to purchase firearms online. What is CTD doing here?
As an individual you can purchase a gun online and have it sent to the FFL of your choice for pickup, as long as said firearm is legal to possess in the state in which you reside.
The Sandy hook massacre has been proven a blatant hoax. A big fat sick twisted TV choreographed lie. Nobody died. Turn your TV off forever, it’s owned by the new world order banker scum, you know the, do as I say and not as I do, sociopaths. They want to circumvent the second amendment to implement one world government, then eugenics and total control of everyone’s property.
very true
CTD lost me too…
I was a customer, now I’m not! See how easy that was CTD?
They’re selling again. I think that suspension lasted about 24 hours.
Never going to shop at CTD again.
They can F Off! Cowards! Commies! Bend over for Israel!!
I read that they are just so overwhelmed with orders, so they need to put a temporary stop so they could see where they are at with inventory and such. I believe this is true…they are a retail organization and are there to make a profit, not to fall to the whims of a few. They are back in business shortly…
Budsgunshop.com! Good luck finding AR’s though.
They need to change their name to dumber than dirt.
Looks like they are the companies that Soros bought out before the Sandy Hook shootings done by the foreign occupied government through black ops, and that is if it even really happened. Go look at all the videos everywhere from the MSM and other video shots all over the place…. AND NOT ONE DROP OF BLOOD CAN BE SEEN ANYWHERE AT ALL AND WHY USE ACTORS AS PARENTS OF THE SO CALLED DEAD CHILDREN?
The gray haired guy that said he saw bodies of children in the parking lot, is the guy caught on camera near the teacher that was supposedly murdered, and that camera shot was done two years ago, and that oldman gave the Baphomet hand sign on that bench he was sitting on. Its the one where you are communicating with your handlers. So was he part of this so called satanic terrorist attack offering?
whoever put this production together, did a really really bad job of it. It ruined my whole image of these creeps being brilliant, though psychopathic. Now they are incompetent and psychopathic. Is that why Lieberscum decided not to run for reelection ? Was he in charge in Connecticut?
Hate to burst your bubble Mac but firearms can’t be sold online in the U.S. Typical grandstanding.
These comments above are fabricated. The only type of gun that can be sold online is black powder guns and some states may not even allow that. Mac is a liar and fabricator of news.
If you think guns can’t be bought online then you don’t have any idea what you are talking about. I’ve bought numerous guns “online” and they were all delivered to the FFL dealer of my choice every single time and then I picked them up. You can’t have them delivered to your house, unless you have an FFL and all long guns and handguns aren’t handed to the purchaser until you’ve been cleared thru the FBI background check line.
Rule #1 in debate. Don’t open your mouth unless you know what you’re talking about.
wrong bozo. both long arms and hand guns can be purchased online and delivered directly to homes in most states if they’re black powder firearms. rule #1. stfu if you don’t know what you’re talking about.
I was talking to people just like you g-man. You have no idea what you’re talking about, just spewing nonsense thinking you know the topic. “black powder” firearms…………I bet you don’t even live in America. Can tell because if you did you’d know next to nobody buys “black powder firearms” and you’d also know you cannot have an AR-15 delivered to your house unless you are a FFL dealer. That’s the law Einstein! Read up on it a bit next time you decide to play Mr Knowitall.
hey jack, read what the guy wrote. he said you could buy black powder. and almost anyone anywhere can just like he and i said. and yes many of us hunt black powder jack. we don’t need ar-15′s to take down white tails. see there’s a whole boat load of us that aren’t scared of our shadows or our neighbors jack. we actually use our firearms to hunt and eat game.
and i didn’t say anything about traditional firearms did i? i didn’t make a blanket statement like you have twice, i merely corrected you after you rudely ran anon, thought you might like a taste of your own.
Like I said, people just like you g-man. Don’t try twisting logic, you already showed who you are by your first ridiculous comment. “Black powder” guns make up about .5% of firearm sales and have nothing to do with my original comment or the comments I was responding to. You want to play grizzly adams with your “black powder” rifle then go do it, but do it knowing you don’t know what you’re talking about. Or start naming online gun dealers that mail handguns and long guns directly to customers homes………..Here’s your big chance.
Now you’re just talking in circles about nonsense not even in MY original comment YOU responded to. Next to nobody buys a muzzle loader period! You just use that silly logic to hide the fact you want AR-15′s banned. You hate the 2nd Amendment don’t you?
keep it up genius, where in any of my posts did i say i don’t own rim fire weapons? i own all kinds of firearms for hunting. but the conversation we were having was about what could be purchased online and delivered to ones door sans the ffl treatment. you should stop because you clearly have limited reading comprehension skills.
We weren’t having a conversation, I responded to this comment “Hate to burst your bubble Mac but firearms can’t be sold online in the U.S. Typical grandstanding”.
Then you jumped in screaming about muskets and hunting like Danial Boone on bath salts. Which had nothing to do with my comment in any form whatsoever. Like anyone gives a crap why you own “muzzle loaders” has nothing to do with the gun debate because muzzle loaders make up not even 1% of guns being sold in the modern era. 2nd amendment had nothing to do with hunting either, which you probably think it did. Notice you avoided that part of my last post……..
You’re insane and rambling incoherently like insane people do. I told you the comment I responded to and you still don’t accept it…..just like insane people do.
Let me draw for you a picture for those that are unaware that every shooting is set up and put up by our President and thief. Time will prove me right. You see the next step is a gun ban followed ( if you have not seen it ) the merging of the TSA and & DHS they will be the ones kicking down the doors. Nothing about loss of life is pleasing especially when its done by a government pushing an agenda. We should be at the White house screaming at the top of our lungs STOP KILLING OUR KIDS SO YOU CAN BAN GUNS. It is so obvious. The last thing hitler did before killing the Jews was he took the guns. We have a new Hitler and he’s black. For give the dealers they are under pressure from Valerie Jarett and the rest of the mob that work at the W. H. this is such a wag the dog that if people didn’t die it would be very funny. Folks we are loosing the fight. 202 456 1111 that is the presidents phone number. Call it and tell him you don’t like him killing our children. God forbid he should get the guns as none will be safe.
Gun Control is only about Control…by Your,lying, foreign national, Marxist, Islamic Muslim, homosexual,POTUSSA!
