and why?

Because we can? I can only assume it's because the Tipples don't want powder being sold to randos off the street.

And why would that be? There is no legal reason to...

Keep in mind that criminals can simply smuggle their ammo into the country, they do not have to pay the ridiculous prices that shills like you guys are charging...

Then again, why are you screwing over your customer base at every opportunity? also because you can (or you think you do)

You are not legally bound to buy powder from GC if you disagree with the policy to sight FAL.

Well, there's a quick witted reply. Have to applaud the intelligent who walk amongst us mere mortals.

Sorry but who said that we are legally bound to do business with you, mate?
Nobody said or implied that.
What we said, just to translate that in plain English for you, is that as long as you have these DUMB policies going beyond the legal requirements set by the existing law, people are taking their business somewhere else.
The end result is that you are loosing the customers!
Not too sure if that matters for you?

So if Gun City were undercutting the little guy would you shop there?
They're not but people are implying they are part of the reason for the little guys demise.

I was clearly being facetious mate. Don't get too worked up about it all. I thought the meme picture made that quite obvious.

Also, remember. I just work at GC. I'm not super high up the chain and was just putting some info and context out here that it's not an uncommon thing for retailers to ask for FAL for powder. You guys seem to think that just because something is not a requirement under the law that private business can't have their own policies.

Any chance you could fuck off to other forums?

Don't worry, it was obviously a joke to 99.9% of us.

Some on here argue just for the sake of it.

its not just gun/sports shops. and the main reason they are failing is crap service. so many staff just cant give a fetid dingoes kidney. try buying electrical/electronic parts. staff wont even go to the shelf to see if they are in stock they just rely on the pc in front of them say "no" and wander off.
its now far easier just to order online and usually from overseas.
