I notice all the guys in that poster are old guys. Probably guys that have a certain amount of disposable income.
I don't see a lot of young people with the financial reserves to buy a gun just as a political statement. Granted there are probably a sizable minority that do. |

Sunday the 15th kind of limits the number of places selling firearms for those wishing to participate.

So, is this a current thing that is being sponsored by a formal organization or just something sort of being recycled on the WEB? The reason I ask is that Tax Day 2018 is actually Tuesday 4/17 and not 4/15 as the graphic suggest.

Cute, but as noted
Kinda dumb IMHO. Have never heard of this before, new this year?
It's like something from Yahoo news, might want to check what the actual date of tax day might be before launching a "campaign" and ya most fun stores are closed on Sun.

I’m an old guy and I don’t have the disposable income, I buy for a need not a statement. Now if the LGS had a 20% sale day I might find that need. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I can’t stand any push to encourage people to spend. Guys who are young should buy an EDC, and then save up capital to start a business or buy a house and raise a family. Too much short sighted consumerism, regardless of whether it’s guns, whiskey, or strippers.

Closed. Today's the 16th, and we're wandering off-topic.
