I do know one store who will go out of business because of carrying costs, and thats of the 3 local stores i support (which will get worse with the pistol ban). I don't know the export procedures, but i do know the chinese guns can't go to the US, so thats a pretty big chunk of some peoples stocks. SO THEY CAN'T ALL BE EXPORTED BACK TO THE USA. And of those that could, its unlikely the market price increases make up the extra costs involved.
So you are saying that the govt was completely unable to do anything but now that the csaaa is onboard the buyback will be done by next Tuesday?
Obviously i don't understand how this has sold the industry out, from my point of view its providing an option for stores that would liketo get rid of the stock THAT THEY CURRENTLY CAN'T SELL.
And there are no federal court case implications, all the people saying that do not know crap about the law. The only changes that the judge can take into account, after submissions have end, is an actual change to legislation (which working with the csaaa isn't). They would have to pass a law that negates what the court challenge was about.
Ok, I am wrong in that not ALL can get exported. You are right on that.
As for unsold inventory, my point remains the same. There are better ways to recoup costs than calling up the Feds. Imagine that.
RE court case implications - I know the system. I know that I would be naive to think that something like this could not at all factor in. Look at how we are here. Flawed, unjust systems.
Anyhow, we will have to agree to disagree.

The libranos and Bidens will not allow these guns to be sent to the states. Distributors won't take it back. So shops are stuck.
However, every board member should be publicly explaining this. PERIOD.
A free society must outlaw harming innocent people to function, but when we seek to curtail what all of us can do, rather than holding each of us responsible for what we actually do, we give up on freedom itself.
All this inventory can be sold for parts. Probably end up getting more by selling the individual parts anyways.
OIC inventory has been on the shelves for 3 years now and whoever was financially unstable would have gone out of business by now. For me I consider this whole debacle as big FU to all of us.
$700,000 spread across all CSAAA members for their now prohib guns. Cutting the legs out from everyone with enough spine to say NO for such a pathetic amount of money is incredible. I would hope Matt did not vote yes towards such a ridiculous deal.
Exactly, it’s been 3 years now. If they were that hard up they would have been done for long ago.
This is a spineless, sellout move by all involved.
Considering the fact these rifles could have been stripped for parts and sold would have likely netted them 100% + in their costs.
A mere $700,000 compared to the millions that have been donated to different organizations to fight C-21! Makes one wonder are there 2 sides in this fight or 3?
