Company names are being mentioned on this thread so I’ll mention another: Ammoman.

Search for that name on the internet to find good deals on brand-name ammo delivered to your door. The price they quote includes shipping.

I don’t have a financial interest in the recommendation.

I have a Dick’s store nearby. Their store is just a showroom for me to try stuff on, or check attributes of a particular product, before...going online to purchase (from a different vendor).

I’ll miss them when they close.

When Dick’s made this announcement I predicted here (not a tough prediction) that Dick’s would struggle mightily because now they would have to rely primarily on soccer mom’s for their revenue.

Sure, the soccer mom might buy their kid a pair of cleats and a ball, and maybe pick up an article of clothing for themselves, but beyond that what have they got to bring in the traffic? The answer of course is nothing.

Dick’s now primarily sells high margin clothes, which often can be found elsewhere for a better price. And, they sell the occasional tennis racket or something. Gone is all that traffic from sportsmen and the outdoor types who have committed themselves to avoiding Dick’s, not passively as in casually not showing up, I mean actively committed to avoiding your store.

Wow, that’s really a great retailing strategy. Honestly, I cannot believe a class action lawsuit has yet to be filed against the CEO and the Board for their gross mismanagement and the destruction of the company’s name and reputation.

Dicks never sold assault rifles.

You are (sarcastically probably) assuming that there is an accepted and fixed definition of an assault rifle! The LEFT has never defined such and will never define such as it is always moving the goal posts to its own advantage. To me the proof of this was when a Fem LEFTist came out against the replica Hawkins black powder rifle as an assault rifle! The reason? The size of the 50 caliber slug!

You are so wrong. An assault rifle is any long gun that is black. Heck, everyone in the media knows that. Pretty much the same applies for an assault pistol.

In light of their downward financial slide, maybe they should be called "Slippery Dicks" now.

“we knew this would happen when — we’ve made some decisions on firearms in the past and we’ve had a pretty good idea of what these consequences were going to be. We felt that was absolutely the right thing to do. We would do the same thing again if we had a mulligan, so to speak, to do it again.”

what a maroon.

When all their executives have a convention, or meeting, do they call them “Dickheads”? /s

No at conventions is where they’ll announce that all upper management will be given huge bonuses to you know make up for their stock holding loses. No s/

Leftist ass-lickers don't belong in business, period.

Heaven forbid if some gets killed with a golf club. They will have nothing to sell.

Or smothered with their cold-weather gear.
