Several major gun manufacturers said they were severing ties with Dicks 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 Dicks 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 Dicks 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.

Dick’s didn’t really “lose” the firearms business, did they? Didn’t they kick it to the curb? You can’t say “go away”, and then whine when it does. Sheesh.
To: KC_Lion
Good news! I hope they go bankrupt!

This is kind of scary. A big retailer fears a leftist political movement more than their customer base?
If Dicks, then who else?
Only lends credence to the fact that this is a spiritual issue.

****THE Field and Stream magazine?****
An earlier thread on the same matter indicated that it is NOT Field & Stream magazine.

To: Billthedrill
And another to piss off your suppliers.

Dicks is nothing more than a clothing store with a few sets of golf clubs and tennis rackets up on the mezzanine level. Bassbela’s is the place to go.

I hope they go insolvent.
