‘We sell AR-15’s:’ Banner at SC pawn shop causing a stir.
WMBF News ^ | 5/21/2018 | Brad Dickerson

HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) – A pawn shop in Little River is getting a wave of attention after posting a tongue-in-cheek banner that takes a jab at a national sporting goods chain.

The owners of Cross Roads Pawn and Audio in Little River put up the sign last Monday that reads “We sell AR-15s because we’re not Dick’s,” according to pawnbroker Brad Stamper.

Staff were referencing the decision by Dick’s Sporting Goods earlier this year to stop selling AR-15 semi-automatic rifles. That move came after the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 dead.

“It wasn’t nothing negative or trying to promote violence or anything,” Stamper said of the decision to put up the banner, which came just days before the tragic shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas that left 10 dead.

According to Stamper, a majority of people support the sign and don’t view it as offensive. He said supporters are calling from states like Texas, Missouri, Florida and Colorado.

“It’s about 99 percent support,” Stamper said. “Our phone’s ringing off the hook.”

Gotta love a capitalist who sells guns, car radios and installs them and does silk screen printing. The American Way!

When the competition hands you such an easy one you’ve got to take advantage of it. Bravo.

SC is a great place to live if you're pro-gun. Instant pickup for long guns and pistols, and no background check required if you have a current CCW permit.

Then why do they keep electing liberals like Nikki Haley and Lindsey Graham?

Yea, may need a few Ballot tweaks... :-)

Little River is on the SC/NC border. Show this guy some support by a visit or a phone call!

Lindsey Graham is a Democrat continuously re-elected by Columbia - the liberal state welfare capital.

Poor Columbia. My daughter did her Basic Training and AIT at Fort Jackson. Luckily, she returned home to Fort Myer, then later on to Fort Riley, so no liberal infections, LOL.

I’ve got plenty of left-wing family in SC (on the wife’s side).

Still, there’s only one Myrtle Beach (and Charleston, SC).

10-15yrs ago, there weren’t in VA, either. Give it time. They’ll slowly invade SC like a cancer.

Agree. VA used to be on our short list of states to move to. Not anymore.

Great, but I suspect they’ll be sued by Dicks.

It’s happening slowly to a lot of states. Libturds ruin one state, and move to another to get out of the garbage/crap they’ve piled-up, and begin the contamination process all over again.

**** Libturds ruin one state, and move to another ***

I remember 43 years ago when the most popular bumper sticker in Colorado was...
DON’T CALIFORNICATE COLORADO!

Well, now it has been and like a virus destroying a cell, the libs have their eyes on the surrounding states.
