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.

Lol...that'll show em.
That boy has a very strange looking head/face. Yowsa!
That boy’s head be seriously deformed.
the one on the left...gotta love the “Manson Girl” look...
They come from the factory with COEXIST and an Obammy bumper sticker. Here in Minnesota there is an option for a Wellstone bumper sticker.
I spent a couple hundred bucks there last year on camping gear. That will be the last business they get from me.
‘But I will not drop a dime at Dicks ever again.’
Yup, same here.
TWB
No one I know actually buys guns from Dicks or Field and Stream anyway. Their prices are absurd.
All this does is piss off the people that actually shop there for other things.
Was getting emails from them. Just unsubscribed with the reason politics.
Dicks made the same statement after Sandy Hook, then quietly abandoned the policy later on... They don’t even get credit for being principled liberal jerks!
I guess the difference is that the Parkland shooter actually bought his gun and ammo directly from Dicks Sporting Goods.
I’m also pretty sure the gun shop that sold the Sandy Hook shooter his weapons is out of business.
Dicks seems to be making a rational business decision with this announcement.
You are somehow confusing the Subaru logo with this logo
1. They deny he purchased the gun he used from them. So that is an invalid point.
2. Do you have link confirming that gun shop is out of business?
3. How is this a rational business decision?
Hmmm. Thought the piece indicated he purchased a shotgun from “dicks” that was NOT used in the attack. Anyway.........
That’s IT! I’m stopping shopping at appropriately named “Dick’s”. Wait ..... I don’t shop there anyway.
Dick’s Clothing Goods, with a little sporting goods sideline.
My bad ...
Sports Authority was the brand name.
Laugh it up kiddies,
After Hogg has congress impeach Trump for his association with the NRA he will become POTUS and Emma Gonzalez (to the left) will be put in charge of deciding who gets put in the re-education camps as re-education minister(similar to Po Pot government in Cambodia 1970s ) .
They have decided that they cant afford to let us keep our current constitutional rights so they will decide what our new ones will be.
(Video) David Hogg kids on Ellen show explaining their gun law demands
No you’re right.
Cruz bought a different gun from them because Dicks had stopped selling the type of gun Cruz used in Parkland...back in 2012...a decision they made in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook school shooting.
Today’s announcement now ends the sale of those guns at Field and Stream stores, another retail brand owned by Dicks.
