A firearm accessory manufacturer going out of the business in America is like a casino going on out business. Like, really?

Smith and Wesson had to rebrand and is focusing on its sporting goods line. Also Casinos are learning something everybody knew before, more casinos dont make more gamblers.

Krispy Wafer posted:A firearm accessory manufacturer going out of the business in America is like a casino going on out business. Like, really? Gun companies do a thing where one of them makes something great and it stands them above the rest, and then they assume no one will catch up to let alone beat them. Suddenly the only thing they are known for is they made something pretty nice ten years ago that you can get off classifieds for 10% of MSRP because the guy that bought it already bought whatever the newer and better thing is. Combine that with a lot of the major name brands getting bought out by some big investment firm that thought quality control was an unnecessary expense (which isn't recent but is more common knowledge now), and a nearly complete lack of panic-buying causing events, there's basically no pressure not to wait a couple months to research your purchase to make sure you don't get R-51'd, instead of buying anything and everything you see right now at a huge markup.

This article is almost a month old and it might have been posted here already, but the last few pages worth of discussion made me think of it again: What happens when neo-Nazis hijack your brandquote:In Alexandria last week, Mosley and his white nationalist buddies drove to Papa John’s to pick up two pizzas — pepperoni and meat lovers. For security reasons, they did not want pizza delivered to the home of Richard Spencer, who, as president of the National Policy Institute, a white nationalist think tank, has received death threats.

haha papa john's explicitly said they didn't want neo-nazis buying their pizza and the response was it was just "signaling", that's some impressive commitment to preconceived delusions

Papa John is a huge shitheel and I’m with the Nazis on this one: Papa John’s really does want Nazis to buy their pizza. It’s just that they want non‐Nazis to buy their pizza as well.

The guns themselves don't wear out that quickly so at a certain point even gun nuts slow down their acquisitions. But I'd think accessories would still be a growing industry. Why, bump stocks are sold out everywhere.

You attract bigot customers.

The soy crap is hilarious to me because I can remember ten (or is it more?) years ago when soy suddenly became the food darling of the moment and marketed like a magical fix-it as every food darling before and since and back then there were scare pieces about how soy had too much estrogen, but in context of raising certain cancers in women instead of making men effeminate (seriously gently caress those guys who peddle this). Meanwhile these idiots will take untested supplements on the subtle promise it will make them “manly” (read: make their dick bigger) when not only do said pills contain soy, but there are examples of lawsuits where vitamin supplements caused people to gain secondary sex characteristics because the factories used the same machines to process hormones and didn’t clean them properly between batches. I hate Nazis, and I hate the supplement industry slightly less.

Not that those people you describe aren't retards (they are). I was reading a paper over how half the soy protein, your body doesn't even use and it just gets flushed out. And you are implying that the estrogen in Soy can or does have little to no effect on the male body?

Alhazred posted:Surprisingly many. Well, yeah.  But gun owners do churn their firearms, so even if they're buying brand new guns, they may be selling existing guns on the used market - which lowers prices. The only weapons I've ever seen people hoard multiple copies of are AR-15's and Colt 1911's. And boy do they love AR-15's because of all the accessories you can buy. It's like the American Girl doll of murder machines. Still without a Clinton or Obama boogieman, the glut of weapons starts becoming obvious. I think background checks queries (which I'm assuming include most new gun purchases) are down 25% since Trump took Office.

But this is an advetisement and not a punk show. It might make some people do a double-take, but I didn't immediately associate that advertisement with nazi punks. This is what I associate with nazi punks  And even more so this:

I wonder what I'm secretly telling everyone with my black and yellow walking boot laces Yeah for like 2 years in highschool I wore the same pair of lovely boots with cheap white laces because I was poor but was completely oblivious to the SINISTER UNDERTONES. I just liked the way it looked but unfortunately everything you do always is a statement.

Pretty sure yellow/black laces mean you're either a Pittsburgh fan or a bee sympathizer. It depends on which color starts the sequence.

If I have the right colour laces and boots, but I lace them differently, am I just a Nazi sympathiser, rather than a full-on Nazi? If I start the concert with the correct combination, but halfway through, I change the laces to match the most popular colour there, am I fascist?
