Add Bud's Gun Shop to the list
« on: December 19, 2012, 10:25:35 AM »
Did a quick check this morning.  Every single centerfire semi-automatic rifle at Buds just happens to be "out of stock".

The ugly truth is now being revealed.  Apparently many vendor's support of our 2nd Amendment rights goes only so far as their concern for their media image allows.  They love our money, but when the chips are down, they fail our culture, miserably. 

From now on, I'm buying ammo and supplies only from Brownells and Midway, and guns from my local pro-2nd Amendment gun shop.

Could be that they sold them all ;)

I have heard a lot of good about Bud's and when I've gone looking for something there are times they didn't have much in stock.

This.

I waited too long to finish my build and every place is out of stock.  Del-ton, PSA . . . everywhere is out of stock.  I called Del-ton and they said "indefinite back order".  I was lucky enough to get the BCG I need yesterday at PSA when a small quantity were available.  Even the manufacturers like DPMS have big notices on their websites that the factories simply can not keep up with demand.  

If nothing else, I think this sends a huge message to the dickwads in DC that we aren't going to go quietly.  
Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

"We Americans have been a rebellious band of freedom loving vagabonds from the very beginning. Our freedom from the crown and tyranny would not exist had it not been for the gun. That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.

Hmm, maybe they truly are out of stock based on a huge demand.  I just find it strange that I didn't find a single semi-auto centerfire, not just "black" sporting rifles, that was in stock.  If they are truly out of stock, I publicly apologize to Buds.

I think BBJohnny may be misinterpreting the status at Bud's Gun Shop. I have two orders in with them: one is a Savage .22 LR bolt gun, and the other is a Glock 20 SF. I ordered the Glock after the shooting, and I have not seen any indications on their web site or through e-mail they are not selling guns. I believe what we are seeing here is the fallout from the shootings, plus it is the holidays.

I do fear that that days of doing this kind of thing at Bud's may be short....Buy while you can.

Hell I can't even get into thier website, but it may be the computer at work.  It does goofy things with Flash and they refuse to update IE to the latest so it may be screwing it up.

Just to clarify, Buds does have .22 semi-auto rifles in stock, but not a single centerfire semi-auto rifle.  I didn't check the stock of any pistols.

I suspect they're flat sold out and their web site is about to melt down with the stampeed

Gun sales broke all time records on Black Friday.
Even the MSM has been reporting that those records were shattered last week end.
It is most likely that Bud's is sold out since things are simply out of stock with out any teary eyed grandstanding.

I can all but guarantee you they are sold out of everything, and this has nothing what so ever to do with them volunteering to suspend sales. Guns are pretty much all they sell, unlike "Cheaper Than Dirt" and "Dick's" who sell everything under the Sun. There is a lot of over reacting going on here, based on zero facts.
