Gun Sales So Low At Dick’s They May Yank All Hunting Gear

Dick’s Sporting Goods took a firm, anti-gun stance. Oh, it’ll still sell guns, but it’ll only sell “approved” guns, the kind that anti-gunners generally pretend are fine. At least until they get around to demanding those be banned too.

When Dick’s made its announcement that it would not sell AR-15s at any of its stores going forward and that it would discriminate against legal adults looking to buy long guns, gun rights advocates called for a boycott. It was answered. So much so that the company has been reeling from the lost revenues.

It’s now to the point that the company is considering cutting out all of its hunting merchandise.

Message to other sporting goods stores" "Don't be DICKS!"

Good. Hope they yank all their stuff and turn it into a Cabela’s or Sportsman Warehouse.

Yank all hunting gear?

How unmanly of Dick’s!

[Pearls Before Swine]

Hey, do you know that Cabela’s was bought out by Dick’s? They’re the same company.

I’d like to see it affect their other sales too.

[IronJack]

Dick’s. Because “Coward’s” doesn’t work as a corporate name.

Wow, good to know.

Cabela’s made it so damn difficult for me to buy a hunting rifle that they made my ‘do not frequent’ list.
