    Right on James.

    I do not modify my behavior one iota in response to any anti gun rhetoric.

    I refuse to use their invented terms, like, no wait, I will not use them.

    Etc.

    I have seen a few videos about this very same topic, Cheaper Than Dirt prices going up and they are all talking about the Pmags sold for $60.
    It looks like it's just on one of their products.
    Is it possible it was an honest mistake? :dunno:
    They are now at down to $30 Magpul PMAG 30 Polymer 30 Round AR-15 Magazine 5.56 NATO Flat Dark Earth .
    If it was an "honest mistake" the mags wouldnt even be priced at $30. They fact that the price has went from 60 to 30 shows they know what they are doing.

    Well said Mr. Yeager. Stick together and don't give in to the price gouging and sell outs that turn tail on selling what they have been profiting from for years.

    This was a good video and something I stand behind. Turning your back the gun community at the sign of "hard times" is betrayal. Stand for what you believe and know is right.

    Watched it. It was good.

    The only cretique I have is this:

    We can complain and moan, but what is needed is action.
    Boycotting more action than 90% of firearms owners are going to innately take, so I am glad he is calling more of them to some kind of action.
    The next action is NOT guns.
    The next action is political and far harder than guns. The left is in motion already and we are sitting and waiting to see what happens next so that we can complain more, bemoan more and maybe even act a little - but only reactively.

    What needs to happen is moving now:

    1. Write your reps - all of them. Hand write - do it now.
    2. Then we begin to write the manufacturers, each biggie, and make sure they know where we stand (with them so long as they are with us).
    3. Then we make sure we are talking with the big boys and seeing what they want for help (beyond the simple answer of money). SAF, NRA, GOA, JPFO, etc.
    4. Then we make sure we are writing the media that is friendly. Local biggies are great, but don't leave out the national ones. I heard 15 minutes of Limbaugh the other day where he some technical mistakes as bad as Brady at moments even though he was speaking in support of gun rights. The big names can use our help believe it or not. Also, if it is a call in show - call in.
    5. Lastly, we need to be asking the question, "what more can I do today?" instead of "what will they take from me tomorrow"?

    Why? Because if we spend as much time searching to make a change as you are trying to find a 30 round magazine in stock anywhere for under $50 and maybe you won't have to hoard them after all.

    The other side is way, way ahead.

    The race is on, the gun has fired, and we were still putting on our shoes.

    Good video and true, hopefully the majority of gun related companies don't wuss out. And my Wal mart doesn't even sell guns anymore, I try not to shop there for a whole stack of reasons.

    Oh sure, go soft when Sylvain posts a Yeager video. :D

    I think this video is indeed spot on. Lots of Chicken Littles in our own community running around this past week.

    Turns out they dont hate Yeager's video, they hate YOU posting them. ;)
