Several major gun manufacturers said they were severing ties with Dick’s Sporting Goods in response to the company's February announcement it would no longer sell assault-style weapons due to the deadly Parkland school shooting.
“It has come to our attention that Dick’s Sporting Goods recently hired lobbyists on Capitol Hill to promote additional gun control,” Mossberg & Sons CEO Iver Mossberg wrote in a press release. “Make no mistake, Mossberg is a staunch supporter of the U.S. Constitution and our Second Amendment rights, and we fully disagree with Dick’s Sporting Goods’ recent anti-Second Amendment actions.”
The manufacturer called on customers to “visit one of the thousands of pro-Second Amendment firearm retailers” instead.

OUCH!! That should really hurt the fools at Dick's, Mossberg being one of the main low priced firearm manufacturers. Now they've been hit from the bottom by Mossberg and from the top by Springfield, plus a couple more. They better look out for what happened to S&W when S&W tried a similar trick.

If DKS is getting a quid pro quo from local/state/federal government for taking the gun control stand, this news won’t matter a damn.

Dick’s probably sees this as a win because now they can use the guns/ammo floor space for the new line of genderless athletic clothing coming out this fall.

I cancelled several subscriptions last month and when they asked why I said “stay out of politics- you just pissed-off half your customers”

Great in theory, but the highly compensated executives won't care and thousands of employees (at much lower socioeconomic strata) will be adversely affected. Not to mention shareholders.
The C-level management team needs to be walked out. Now.

I stopped using Dicks completely. Bass pro and Cabelas has all I need.

“O.F. Mossberg & Sons Inc., the parent company of Mossberg guns, announced Wednesday they would no longer be doing business with the sports retailer.”
I KNEW there was a reason I bought that Mossberg 930 SPX Tactical last month.
Not that I needed a reason, you understand...
