CMP ripps you off!!!

[hillbillyricky]

that's it no more of my money to these con artist, this latest prie increase is just another way to get you suckers to pay more for ammo that they already bought. there was no increase in their costs they just wanted to sock it to you so orest and his crew can get a bigger bonus, so what if people are loading their trucks and selling it at gun shows?, it that was the concern you could have placed a limit of 5 cans per month and problem solved, the bottom line is the CMP are greedy and I am feed up with it, now is the time write my senator and obama and let him know what a sham this CMP is and how it should be closed, promoting firearms is not what this country needs and I am sure the obama administration will agree, maybe aduitors should look at where all this money is going, because it sure dosen't help any clubs in my area, yea another ripp off for the tax payers , why isn't the tax payer making money off this instead of some scam orgainzation that is getting rich off the government? your greed CMP will lead to your downfall!!!

Well lets see I paid 35 cents for the 30-06 ammo I have. It was purchased a while back. So if I go and sell it I should charge .35 to .40 per round. Even though it is going for more than 1.00 a round.

CMP is selling the ammo for the going rate. You should have stocked like I did a while back. It will not be any cheaper than it is now. IT will go up again.


I am sorry, but your rant has no merit.

Well the CMP is still the best thing going for most of us. I would have rather seen a ten can limit per year per person to try to keep the ammo in the hands of those who use it rather than raiseing the price so much.
The only CMP beef I have at the moment is they no longer provide ammo at cost to clubs for clinics to get new shooters started.I have a couple Garand clinics this spring and found the CMP did not wish to supply ammo for the shooters at .17 per round like they had. I felt this kind of went against promoting marksmanship, especilly when some of the clinics were for juniors.
Ricky I would think real hard about this post, you will probally not like the replies you will get, in fact I would try to remove it.

"promoting firearms is not what this country needs"

Um are you kidding me?/?

It is just what this country needs, promoting firearm safety and encouraging people on responisble firearms ownership. It was not set up for the taxpayer to benefit or local gun clubs.

Telling me that they have increase prices to get a bonus is insulting to everyone that supports the CMP programs.

Only a confirmed gun hater would want to have the CMP closed down.
So your true colors are showing.

Looks as if Comrade has not been paying much attention to what it costs to ship into this country, all that good Greek ammo that the US taxpayer did not pay for to have made overseas. CMP is still a good thing and I think it's a good idea that we do promote firearms, a GOD given right. YES, NO MERIT

Ricky,
Your post is COMPLETELY without merit.
You obviously know nothing about the CMP, a non-profit, or what that means.
The ripoff is coming from people who are buying from CMP, and reselling, which is a violation of the spirit of CMP, if not the actual aggreement everyone who buys a rifle signs.
For the record, there is now a 25 can a year limit.
You are intitled to your opinion, but your opinion is ridiculous.

it is a good example of the kind of specious arguments that will - unfortunately - be effective politically unless CMP addresses the resale issue. See my attempt (below) to discuss this problem objectively. Maybe the answer is for CMP to raise the ammo prices so that it will not be economically attractive for the gun show bulk ammo buyers to continue doing it. As for rifles, I'm afraid that if CMP doesn't address the resale issue, its days may be numbered in this political climate - and, don't be surprised if the gun show guys really have that result [removing the CMP as a a source of reasonably priced rifles] as their ultimate agenda. Again, JMHO.

+1 Woody, Ricky is clueless.
