Dick's Sporting Goods, one of the largest sports retailers in the U.S., has announced it is immediately ending its sales of assault-style rifles and requiring all customers to be older than 21 to buy a firearm at its stores.
Additionally, the company will no longer sell high-capacity magazines.
CEO Ed Stack announced the decision ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday, the same day survivors of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are returning to class. Stack said the 19-year-old gunman allegedly behind that massacre, which claimed 17 lives and wounded many more in Parkland, Fla., had actually purchased a firearm from the retailer last November.
And he said that while the weapon — a shotgun — was not used in the shooting, the revelation deeply affected Stack and his colleagues at Dick's.

They never stopped, continued to sell thru a subsidiary after 2013.
Also include gun shows.
“”””””””Hey, what’s wrong with my Subaru ? “””””
I’m jealous of you Subaru people. Always going camping, kayaking and having fun everywhere. You can get run over by a dump truck and live through it.
Fine. This should should mean more sales for smaller independent firearms dealers.
I never liked Dicks anyway.
I think Sporting Goods stores went bankrupt after they did this.
Please... no pictures of Dicks...
What is that standing next to the taller peckerhead?
Two words,............Gander Mountain.
We never had any interest in a Subaru until we had to rent a car and the only thing left was a Legacy. We were so impressed we bought a new Legacy, then later a new Outback. Great cars!
But the F150 still tops a Subaru.
Can’t make them sell anything they don’t want to sell but I don’t think they can refuse to sell an item in stock to a legal purchaser. Eighteen is a legal purchaser.
Which raises the question, is this a political move of no actual consequence ?.....for the Subaru crowd ?
I like you idea! FW as in cowtown?!! Local!!
That is a shame they caved to the Libtards pressure.
Another store I will never shop at again.
I’ve stopped going to Dick’s since the last time they virtue signaled.
Dicks would like to announce that it will no longer do what it already announced it was no longer doing. It is part of their “re-cashing in” on tradgedy marketing campaign.
Stay tuned for the next bombing when Dicks will announce it is no longer selling the high explosives that it never sold in the first place.
So they are real dicks!
I wonder if Hogg likes Dicks now?
My local ffl dealer gets my business anyway. Screw Dick’s.
