PITTSBURGH, PA (AP/WCMH) - Dick's Sporting Goods says it will be destroying the assault-style rifles that it pulled off shelves last month. In February, national retail chain Dick's Sporting Goods announced it would stop sales of assault-style rifles and high capacity magazines at all of its stores and ban the sale of all guns to anyone under 21 years old. The announcement came Feb. 28, just two weeks after the school massacre in Parkland, Florida. But recently the sporting goods chain also said it was destroying all the assault-style guns pulled from shelves as well as the accessories. "We are destroying the firearms in accordance with federal guidelines and regulations," a spokeswoman told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Nickolas Cruz, the gunman who killed 17 people in Florida, mostly students, had purchased a shotgun at a Dick's store in November 2017, Stack said. "It was not the gun, nor type of gun, he used in the shooting," Chairman and CEO Edward Stack wrote. "But it could have been. Clearly this indicates on so many levels that the systems in place are not effective to protect our kids and our citizens." Dick's Sporting Goods Inc. is based in Pittsburgh in a state where the first day of deer hunting season is an unofficial holiday for some families. http://www.wivb.com/news/national/d...l-unsold-assault-style-rifles/1126015885

I'd like to see proof that Dick's actually destroys that merchandise, I smell a rat. I wouldn't be surprised if they hustle those rifles out the back door to another vendor, even if it's at their cost.

Wonder if their share holders know they are destroying good merchandise and what it's value is? I'd sue

Why don't they donate all those "military grade weapons of war" to the US military?

They really should close their doors; it would make them and me feel better.

After the AR's are "destroyed" will they start on their inventory of knives next?

They don't have any to destroy. Dicksuckers quit selling ARs after Sandy Hook.

They sold AR's for years making money off them.
Before the dust settled in Sandy Hook, they made a big PR show of not selling them anymore.
They then opened several Field & Stream stores. Where they sold AR-15's.
After the Florida school shootings, another PR event. "We will not sell AR-15'so anymore". Again.
Yes, Dick'so are real trustworthy. NO ONE should go there. They have crapped on everyone, pro and antigun.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
