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.

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.

🙀. Hmmm? Possibly planning an all out glbtqxyz assault next? We've given in before in small increments. Well, just like they're sayin these days.....refuse to compromise. In fact it's time to start getting rid of infringements to our rights. Focus on the actual problem instead of the tool used. Fidiots. 🍿🍻🇺🇸😹

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.

Seriously, when I see one of those "COEXIST" bumper stickers odds are overwhelming it'll be on a Subaru.

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.

RE:”the one on the left...gotta love the “Manson Girl” look.”

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.

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.
