Dicks to stop selling that nasty AR.

Posted on 02/28/2018 5:10:01 AM PST by Slingwing

Did Dicks make the corporate decision to stop selling the dreaded AR, high capacity mags and change the age to sell a firearm to 21 on their own or were they pressured? At any rate I will not be shopping at Dicks any longer over their stupid heart string tug decision. The AR has never killed a sole or creature without the assistance of a human to make the interaction function as designed.

i won’t set foot in a dick’s. Their politics suck for a sporting good store, and they are outrageous on prices. Academy is way cheaper.

As a general rule I try to avoid buying sporting goods at Dick's.

Most of their gear is cheap Chinese-made s#!t.

One would think that Dick’s would have noticed what happened to J.C. Penney when they blew off their true customers and went for the pervs. Now Dick’s is doing the same, and siding with the gun grabbers. So, that’s it for Dick’s. Let them starve!

Yes, I believe after Sandy Hook they did. I did not realize they started selling the nasty black rifles again. Guess they can’t make up their mind?

They don’t call it “Dick’s” for nothing.

I shop for ammo online or at Academy where they put it out on the shelves and not locked up behind a counter.

Great move by Dicks. I mean, it’s not like a big box sporting goods retail franchise is in trouble or anything. They are the only show in town. Where else would one get shoes and other sports equipment in this age of the internet? Where, I wonder?

So yes, Sicks can afford to alienate over half its customers (cause we know how those snowflakes love physical fitness). Great move!!!

I have a Sportsman’s Warehouse, Academy, and Palmetto State Armory nearby. Why would I go to Dick’s?

Dick’s did this a few years back after a shooting.

Guess they restocked after the heat died down.

They are liberal attention whores.

That is setting up a new business for someone.

They are taking them out of Field and Stream. Next they will ban Outdoor Life. They are high-capacity magazines.

Yes. And in the world of internet relationships and internet stores, the need for a brick and mortar becomes less and less.

The last time I was in a Dick's store was the summer of 2016. They had large banners hanging from the ceiling of a dozen or more U.S. Olympic athletes. I noticed right off the bat there was not one banner of a white guy. Purposefully, I toured the entire store and checked all the banners. NOT ONE WHITE GUY was featured on any banner.

I didn't watch much of the Olympics in 2016 (or ever). Does anyone recall.... were there any white guys on the U.S. Olympic team in 2016?
