NORTH HAVEN, CT– O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc., a leading American firearms manufacturer, announced today its decision to discontinue selling products to Dick’s Sporting Goods, and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, in response to their hiring of gun control lobbyists in April 2018.

Turn them into Sports Authority.
The day Sports Authority pulled a similar stunt, they all but announced they would be going out of business as I and many others refused to shop there for anything...
Pretty soon the only people shopping at Dick’s will be, nobody.
“Mossberg cuts off Dick’s!” (Headlines we’d love to see)
Yea can’t believe they were this stupid!! Sporting Goods includes guns, now they just lost their best supplier of shotguns, in my opinion and others. Oh they a dead duck in the water.
Mossberg...my next shotgun.
Yes!!!
Unintended consequences will bite you in the a$$.
5.56mm
They will become a GAP or Old Navy type crap store on their rapid ride to bankruptcy.
I’ve terminated my relationship with ‘em too.
“Pretty soon the only people shopping at Dick’s will be, nobody.”
Only dicks will shop at Dick’s.
Over the weekend, I read a piece that someone suggested this was intentionally done...selling the board or company leadership into this stupid mistake....to downprice the company, and it would be under-priced enough that someone could buy it by summer of 2019 for a quarter of the value today.
Now I admit....that’s awful stupid. But I’ve seen companies pretend they had great profit and numbers when they didn’t....and achieved a handsome profit for a lousy company. I could imagine someone in the top chain convincing everyone on the board to buy into this, and have the next owner lined up to buy it.
Up until this point, they had a fair amount of business.
Maybe they’ll finally have some good prices...during their bankruptcy close-out.
Using the liberals own tactics on them (turn about is fair play) seems rather effective. I expect more firearms manufacturers will soon follow suit.
If these same firearms manufacturers would use the same tactics on law enforcement agencies in liberal states it would be effective as well. All would have to do it or it would defeat the purpose but it would have them howling!
Dropped dicks the day they attacked the 2nd amendment.
People drop dicks but not Amazon. Why? Amazon refuses to sell guns too.
Sounds fair, I really couldn’t see how business executives and CEO’s would do something this dumb on a whim. There had to be some thought process aside from appeasing the anti-Constitution folks with a headline for a week.
Academy is serious competition in States like Louisiana.
Dicks is pissing off their RIGHT WING customer base.
Fire sale on Dicks stock.
DKS down almost 50% since 2013.
