Cast bullet sale

email from Missouri Bullet Company:

Today is 9/11 and if you've seen any network news coverage today, likely you're as mad as I am!

Where's the outrage? Where's the celebration of our effort to destroy the root of the evil that attacked us? Where's the appreciation for the hundreds of thousands of our servicemen who willingly agreed to give their all to defend - not only us - but the WORLD - against the stone-age, freedom-hating hamper heads whose idea of a cool thing to do is to massacre innocent, free people?
The gang at Missouri Bullet Company remembers who, what, when, and why. We are offering a very special, one-time-only discount of 9.11% to all orders we receive through midnight. If we had a way to restrict this offer to servicemen and law enforcement personnel, frankly we would. But we can't and so the offer is wide open for everybody.
Use this discount code at checkout.
NeverForget
Enter it exactly as you see it and if it doesn't work, don't call us. You entered it wrong and we're busy making bullets.
If you have already ordered from us today, email us and we will credit you back the discount. As with our other discounts, it may not be combined with any other.
We anticipate a huge response to this special offer. As a result, please allow up to a week for delivery.

So if they could they would screw over the general public? They been talking to H&K or something? Last time I checked Servicemen and women got issued ammo and most Cops get issued ammo too.

Sounds to me like they want to thump their chest and give a discount only to certain people when all of America has suffered.

Offering a small discount on our bullets to active-duty military and sworn law enforcement personnel constitutes "screwing over" the general public? That seems rather a harsh assessment to me.

I don't know when you last checked with any servicepeople, but I am regularly told by military staff officers that there are cutbacks on ammunition availability and that most personnel who aren't line people have to supply their own in order to maintain proficiency.

Cops? Yes, we offer a discount to them. I figure they don't make a lot of money - in fact, the money they earn is out of all proportion to the risks they take every day on the job - so I want to help them out a little bit. Same goes for firefighters.

I am sorry that our policy offends you but am proud to offer it.

Welcome aboard

It sucks that the first thing you read here on TGO contains such douchbagery!

I think most here appreciate any discounts given to those men and women who give to us. Especially considering that you don't have to do anything,but choose to anyway.
It shows allot about a company that supports our service men,and women

My wife's a Tennessee gal, Chattanooga area. Soddie-Daisy in fact. She thinks a lot of people talk funny.

We had another discount offer last year that was wildly successful, the "Dixie Discount." We ran it for a day and it was open to everyone living in the original 13 CSA states. That one got a lot of hoots from the Yankees, believe me :-)

Welcome.

I'm glad that so far in America, a man is able to run his business pretty much as he sees fit. I think the earlier post is harsh, but I sort of agree with it. I strongly dislike the practice of offering different prices to different segments of society. The senior discounts at restuarants are an example of this. It may show respect to them, but in my opinion, it is a slap in the face to the rest of the customers. That being said, welcome aboard, and I support your right to run your business any way you see fit, even if I disagree with it.

Greg, thank you for your welcome.

I think the senior citizen discount is purely mercenary in nature, given that restaurants and other businesses which offer it realize that seniors, in general, don't have the level of discretionary income enjoyed by the general strata of their customer base. I don't know that "respect" is really a motivator in this sort of case. So, that's one thing. The other thing is that we offer the discounts to servicepeople purely out of a basic sense of respect and admiration for them. You probably won't like this either, because it examples a singling-out of a segment of society for special treatment, but every time I have a chance I will pick up the tab of military people who are sitting in a restaurant where I happen to be enjoying lunch or dinner. I will quietly ask the waitress/waiter to please put their bill on my tab and not tell them how it happened if they should leave before I do.

Our margins at Missouri Bullet Company aren't real fat; no price increase since January of '08, and I don't foresee one happening in the near-term. So, a 5% or 7.5% discount does cut into our bottom line in a real way.

But I have to ask - why are we here? If there's an opportunity for me to provide someone whom I respect and admire a little bit of a break on something that helps them perform their job - and maybe, helps a little bit towards keeping them and what they are defending alive - then how can I not do it?

Just my thoughts, and thank you again for your welcome.
