"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States." --Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 1787

The day of the little Mom & Pop gun shop seem to be waning. Even small shops these days are sophisticated, computerized, professionally managed businesses, but those small shops are becoming harder to find. Faced with competition from the internet and mega-retailers like Wal-Mart, Cabelas and Bass Pro Shops, small, dedicated gun shops are finding it more and more difficult to compete. Throw in the added pressure of more frequent and more adversarial oversight by ATF, increased pressure from community zoning boards and taxing authorities, and major shortages in all sorts of guns and ammunition keeping dealer’s shelves bare for months in the midst of the worst recession in decades and it’s easy to understand why a lot of shops are struggling.

What gun owners need to understand is that the small firearms retailer is the beating heart of the firearms industry and the “gun culture.” Without dedicated gun shops our whole way of life is in serious jeopardy. That might sound a bit over the top, but it is a simple economic and political reality. California just shut down all non-face-to-face ammo transactions. Internet firearms transactions are dependent on local dealers to process the transfers and the internet could be subjected to all sorts of government controls at any minute. Big chains like Wal-Mart and K-Mart have demonstrated a lack of commitment to their firearms and ammunition business, agreeing to intrusive invasion of their customers’ privacy and completely pulling out of the business when the social pressure bears down. Major outdoor retailers, while more committed to the firearms business have also demonstrated a proclivity toward political correctness with some retailers refusing to carry certain types of military-looking hardware and ammo. We know that gun shows have been under fire for years and just a slight shift of the political winds could easily make them a thing of the past. (Read More)
