Blah, blah, blah. Wanna free tip guaranteed to triple your sales of handgun cartridges?

Easy one. Stop the dealers from hoarding Ranger-T's, bragging on how they're meant ONLY for law enforcement but you can have a box for only twice what you'd expect to pay. I know, I know, LE needs to be fooled time and again that they've got something super-dee-duper special that no other human being on the planet could handle, let alone purchase, but they'd order them anyway because the rounds work just fine, so why not simply make MORE to sell to us lowly civvies.
