As for the ammo thing, every time you buy with a credit card it's already in their database.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. Academy is making a marketing/sales/profit/publicity (lack of) decision. The guns will be back on display soon. They still sell them. Much ado about nothing IMO. However collecting data on ammo sales bothers me. I would still shop there but keep purchases below the data collection threshold. Pay cash. By the way, the government, if that's your fear, knows more about you because of this forum than anything you do at Academy.

Are you saying federal bureaucracies collect information from this forum, on United States citizens, based on nothing? Isn't that illegal?

I believe the government certainly programmatically watches social media for persons of interest. And some get a little more personal attention.

I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about the government watching your ammo purchases. They didn't do a very good job watching Omar Mateen.

Every "journalist" with a camera and microphone is out trying to show how easy it is to by an "assault rifle". Academy is an easy target. Big retail store, not just a small LGS. Lots of children walking around inside... All those violence-inducing MSR's hanging on the wall. Every night an opportunity for another Academy on the news with the same story....

"Look at all those assault rifles on the wall at your local Academy. With CHILDREN shopping just a few feet away. Anyone can buy one in 10 minutes. All you need is a credit card"

When Academy decides to stop selling guns, will any of you folks writing "Go to hades" letters today feel at all complicit in the demise of that segment of their business? Are we better off without Academy selling guns/ammo?

This will be my last post in this thread, since I seem to be completely out of sync with the rest of those posting here...

Peace.
