U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., this week met with Dicks Sporting Goods CEO Ed Stack and came away impressed with his moves to change store policy on gun sales.
The former San Francisco mayor and author of the long-expired federal assault weapon ban visited with Stack in the aftermath of the big box retailers adoption of a controversial policy banning gun sales to those under age 21 across their 700 locations nationwide, including 26 Field & Stream stores.
I was delighted to meet Ed Stack, who I think is a great American, Feinstein said. Hes a supporter of the Second Amendment and a gun owner, but also understands that we need reasonable controls on who can buy guns and what guns they can buy.
In addition to barring sales to adults under 21 which has drawn at least two lawsuits and driven some employees away in protest Stack solidified an earlier decision to stock modern sporting rifles such as AR-15s and magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds.
Weve promised that well never put the assault-style weapon back in the Field and Stream stores or the Dicks stores, said Stack after his meeting with the California Democrat, before advocating to fix background checks and bring back one of Feinsteins favored proposals.
We feel that we should have high-capacity magazines banned, Stack said.
Dicks predicts this year could see a decrease in store sales as a result of the companys new firearm policies.
Come on Diane see if you can do a two and a half gainer down the basement stairs like your fellow democrat harridan Louise Slaughter.
so says the senator who has an entire army of armed guards and who personally packs a pistol
Wow, why are companies so stupid?
A great dick according to socialist Difi.
Dicks’ selection (and knowledge) about firearms was already lacking at our local store...lots of inventory but very very very little of what anyone would want for serious hunting or defense
we were still shopping there for the “plinking” ammo and for many, many other things in other departments which carried a more complete or satisfactory line of goods (clothing, soccer balls, etc.)
we have now, of course, stopped all Dicks’ patronage for both ourselves and the soccer teams we were purchasing for
It's the equivalent of Chick-fil-A supporting the LGBT agenda and denouncing Christian beliefs.
And those SJWs and BLMs don't hunt, fish, or camp...so where is Richard Cranium going to get his sales from?
Academy Sports is good for knowing exactly what brand of ammo for your firearm.
Sigs are very picky.
Dicks sporting goods might as well cash out. If Daddy can’t get his rifle, Junior isn’t getting his tent.
I bet that Dianne and Ed think that they would look fabulous in brown shirts and shiny jackboots also.
Note to Ed of dicks: you can stop selling guns, but you wouldn’t even make a noticeable dent in gun sales you leftist tool.
That’s the reality of living in a country where there’s more firearms than there are people. And that’s just the ones that the government knows about.
Don’t even bother to ask about ammunition. The number is almost embarrassing.
“Sigs are very picky”
Got that right. 938 & 238. The 938 is super finicky.
He’s a stupid Fudd.
We have choices when we seek to buy sporting goods. There is nothing that I need at Dick's that I can't buy in a Second Amendment friendly store.
Nothing.
yes.
thanks.
Dicks staff usually didn’t know much about the rifles and even less about the ammo.... and the store carried almost no rifles we’d be interested in buying (mostly they had rifles suitable for training a youngster...perfectly okay for that...but not for an adult hunter, and they had almost nothing appropriate for defensive purposes), but we were still picking up cases of ammo ....again just for casual target practice, Dicks almost never had any ammo worth buying for any serious purpose). In other words, Dicks is a clothing store that happens to also sell soccer balls ... and other stuff for kids to enjoy. Mostly a clothing store.
Very expensive clothing but they had a ton of it and included were a few items we liked and could not find elsewhere, mostly just that a clothing store with a ring of soccer balls, baseball bats, kids toys .......
It was fine for what it had, we just couldn’t find anything useful in the firearms corner except shots for 25 or 100 casual target practice, plinking as they say
not a serious store for adults, hunting, or defensive purposes. Lots of fishing poles and lures, that was fine.... but a store we’ve very EASILY stopped patronizing...what with their new anti-Second Amendment BS. To hell with them, we can go next door or down the block with our money.
IIRC, there are 7 CCW permits in San Fran. Feinstein & her bodyguards have 6 of those permits....
She is a total hypocrite.
Watch for the stock to continue a slide.
>> big box retailer
Ill go to Dicks next time I need a big box.
Dick has enough money. See Dick squander other people’s money.
Pelosi, Feinstein, Hitlery is there any difference? Docks is about 1 mile from my house but I drive an extra 4 miles to goto Academy because they are always cheaper and offer better and friendlier service.
