Two years after banning so-called “assault weapons, Dick’s Sporting Goods has announced it will now eliminate the hunting section and all firearms from a majority of its stores.

The retailer made the announcement while reporting better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings Tuesday, according to Fox Business.

Apparently emboldened by increased sales of baseballs and outerwear, Dick’s will stop selling firearms in 440 of its stores and completely eliminate the hunting section in those locations by the end of this fiscal year.

Dick's Balls and Bats boutique. How cute. I couldn't tell you the last time I was in one. Guess they'll carry on as "Dicks" without us.

They need to change their name from “Dick’s” since they no longer have one.

Hm. I thought they did this a while ago? Cause I’m pretty sure the one near me completely eliminated their hunting section a year or so ago.

How long will it be before Dick’s goes out of business, completely?

Or will they try a Chapter 11 and try to reorganize, unable to figure out what happened?

Oh...Coronavirus. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
