The noose tightens around Dicks. First Springfield, now MKS. Remington Arms, the rest, where are you? Let Dicks cater to those without who are into sports of the type not suitable to mention in a family website.

Well I must say I like that. Just the cost of doing business guys, nothing personal.

I think Dicks is happy just selling overpriced "sports wear" to suburban housewives. That seems to be what 60% of their floor space is devoted to.

Wow. When you lose Hi-Point, you may as well toss in the towel.

I just called MKS to tell them thanks and to let them know that my next gun purchase will be a Hi-Point. Linda offered to send me some collateral on the company, their products and price sheets...I took her up on the offer.

A friend of the family works at a Field and Stream and said they’re having yuge problems with an inventory glut at his store.

As I said before, Dick’s is going down the same road Kmart took. They did not learn from Kmart’s demise apparently. Kmart started giving in to the liberals and when they did their sales started to go down. Men go with their wives to shopping and escape to the sporting goods section while their wives shop elsewhere. When Kmart started giving in on selling firearms, I noticed fewer customers in the stores. It got worse. Keep an eye on Dick’s and see if I’m not right.
