    Too much truth? Why dont gun companies market to shooters anymore?

    What’s up with gun companies marketing directly to the “I’m a Firefighter but almost joined the Army” Soc-Med and IG crowd these days?

    Like several folks posted in the last thread - Marketing tactics like “Safe queens need not apply” and DD dropping shit out of Helos has gone the way of “Buy this upper cuz it looks mint in this photo of a guy with GPNVG-18s” (which by the way, are 50 large and unavailable for sale to civilians anyway)

    Sup with that? Especially when 100% of the Soc-Med IG Hourly-wage-loser crowd can’t even afford NVGs (well, they could, but they’d rather buy and tinker with 15 mediocre piece of shit rifles instead of buying the good stuff)
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    Because shooters buy ammo, not guns.

    ETA: or they buy reloading stuff

    This. Guns are the least cost of my hobby.

    Money. Simple as that. They are in business to make money and to do that you need a wide audience. Otherwise you buy on mount, one sling or one light and you're done. They just lost a customer because you don't need anything else

    This.

    And the operator/shooter types driving down sales by telling people to buy fewer guns.

    Can somebody translate OP's post for me? I'm quite serious: I can't tell what the issue is.

    And it’s easier for them.
