What’s wrong with this? I’m GLAD they’re asking - selling to illegals is actually illegal.

I don’t darken Dick’s doorstep because they have the worst customer service of any sporting goods store. I’m a Gander Mountain gal.

I've got mixed emotions on that. Do you really want non-citizens buying ammo in this environment? Is Dick's Sporting Goods not a private establishment, entitled to sell or not to sell their merchandise under any precondition of their choosing within the law? I believe they are.

Just don't shop there if you feel it's too invasive. If enough people react similarly, the policy will be rescinded if they have half a brain, and I suspect they do. They're the envy of the sporting goods retail industry, widely emulated and studied, highly successful business model.

Hell, I’m not gonna shop there anymore out of protest that all they carry is crappy Ultramax reloads.

Heck, I think that they should ask that question when people buy groceries. The illegals would certainly be heading back to thier home country in a hurry if they couldn’t buy food. Problem solved!

The only downside would be that people would have to start mowing their own lawns again....

.....Yeah, yeah, yeah, racist blah blah blah.....

What’s the problem and what’s the point?
Anyone could lie, so it’s just plain stupid.

Sounds like a good idea, did they want to see ID too?

Target makes you give them your driver's license to scan first before they'll sell you BIC lighters or that compressed air in a can for cleaning dust off of your keyboard.

Let illegals and foreigners go back to where they came from to get their ammo.

223 ammo? Did you bring a forklift for that caliber? I can see how they might've been concerned. ;-)

I would think someone in Dick’s legal dept. and/or their liability insurance carrier decided they needed to “CYA”.

“Citizen?” Legal residents who aren’t citizens can legally buy firearms. On a related note, political speech has been crazy talk for some time, and it’s fun to laugh at.

Did it ask in English only? I’d call that progress.

Dick's couldn't care less if you are a citizen or not. That device you are supposed to tap is actually a finger print scanner that sends your finger print to the government so they will know who is stockpiling ammo.

I was at Dick's this morning to buy some 223 ammo and was paying in cash.

As a side note, what do you care, you paid cash..........Unless maybe your name is George Washington......LOL!
