I stopped at Dick's Sporting Goods today on the way home from work. Just felt the need to let them know they've lost my business. The manager obviously had a script ready to deal with folks like me. She claims all comments will be funneled up the chain of command to Corporate. Vote with your wallets guys. Never go back. Let 'em know about it too.

I'm curious as to whether they will sell the AR15 stock they have, or donate them to Antifa.

Dicks is about the last place I'd go for anything gun related anyway.

Right behind Walmart, who also apparently quit selling AR15's.

I’ve only been in one Dicks, lamest outdoor store I’ve ever seen, Walmart has a better selection.

Check this one out fellas. I was shopping for a new predator shotgun. I was looking at the 835 Ulti mag at Dicks Greensburg Pa. While I was making up my mind wether or not to buy it,the clerk offered up a box of ammo,saying this was what most were buying to feed the 835..........a box of 30/06! No frickin joke folks. I handed it back to him and suggested he get his head screwed on right,and get the hell out from behind the counter. After arriving home,I penned a rather hot email to Dicks main office outlining the days events. It was going to be investigated. Now these morons are going to play the hero. Never again selling assault rifles. Big [bleep] deal. They don't own enough of the market share to even have a dog in the fight. Our local news has already compared them to Cabelas and Bass Pro. Shaming them to follow suit. [bleep] media.

When Walmart got out of the AR business, they cut the prices in half. I sure looked hard trying to find a Sig in 308, for 600 bucks. No luck though.

I always have to walk thru Dicks to get to Nieman Marcus! It's so humiliating. frown

Email Dicks, let them know your thoughts. Their email is: PRESSDCSG.COM
Wednesday, February 28, 2018



We at DICK’S Sporting Goods are deeply disturbed and saddened by the tragic events in Parkland. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims and their loved ones.

But thoughts and prayers are not enough.

We have tremendous respect and admiration for the students organizing and making their voices heard regarding gun violence in schools and elsewhere in our country.

We have heard you. The nation has heard you.

We support and respect the Second Amendment, and we recognize and appreciate that the vast majority of gun owners in this country are responsible, law-abiding citizens. But we have to help solve the problem that’s in front of us. Gun violence is an epidemic that’s taking the lives of too many people, including the brightest hope for the future of America – our kids.

Following all of the rules and laws, we sold a shotgun to the Parkland shooter in November of 2017. It was not the gun, nor type of gun, he used in the shooting. 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.

We believe it’s time to do something about it.

Beginning today, DICK’S Sporting Goods is committed to the following:

We will no longer sell assault-style rifles, also referred to as modern sporting rifles. We had already removed them from all DICK’S stores after the Sandy Hook massacre, but we will now remove them from sale at all 35 Field & Stream stores.
We will no longer sell firearms to anyone under 21 years of age.
We will no longer sell high capacity magazines.
We never have and never will sell bump stocks that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire more rapidly.
At the same time, we implore our elected officials to enact common sense gun reform and pass the following regulations:

Ban assault-style firearms
Raise the minimum age to purchase firearms to 21
Ban high capacity magazines and bump stocks
Require universal background checks that include relevant mental health information and previous interactions with the law
Ensure a complete universal database of those banned from buying firearms
Close the private sale and gun show loophole that waives the necessity of background checks
We hope others join us in this effort to let our kids know that their pleas are being taken seriously.

Some will say these steps can’t guarantee tragedies like Parkland will never happen again. They may be correct – but if common sense reform is enacted and even one life is saved, it will have been worth it.

We deeply believe that this country’s most precious gift is our children. They are our future. We must keep them safe.

Sincerely,

This is from their webpage:

Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

Pure democrat propaganda. Common sense, if even one life is saved, for the children, blah blah blah.

No kidding, I've been in 1 Dicks Sporting Goods store and their gun section wasn't even worth looking at, lame is an understatement, There are a lot better places to spend ones hard earned dollars.

Has nothing to do with their conscience. They just don’t want to get sued when somebody shoots up a place with a gun purchased at their store.
