>The shooting Stack is a hunter and gun owner who believes strongly in the Second Amendment.

A self evident lie gratuitously added by CNN to validate their hatred of firearms ...

Dick’s management living up to their name.

Stockholders should hold Dick's accountable.

And of course over at DU they’re cheering him on.

But somehow halfway down the thread it morphed and they’re pissed off Dick’s didn’t destroy hunting shotguns as well.

Never enough.

Dick’s Sporting Goods
has destroyed Defense Rifles
used to SAVE GOOD PEOPLE
from BAD PEOPLE with guns.

Dick’s supports BAD PEOPLE WITH GUNS !!

Dick’s is evil.

No amount of virtue signaling can change that.

Sounds like a win, win. The gun manufacturers make $5 million, Dick’s loses $5 million, and now the gun manufacturers will be able to manufacture and sell an extra $5 million in guns because of the demand that wasn’t fulfilled because of the guns Dick’s destroyed.

There is some truth to that. It looks like mom and pop shops are going to make all the money because the corporate world is ceding the firearms market.

I predict the Dick’s will be out of business in five years because it is being run by “grasshopper” leftists. You

it

Golf Galaxy is also owned by Dicks so if you are a golfer, there is another store to avoid like the plague.

After finding out that Dick’s had sold the Parkland shooter a shotgun, they destroy their inventory of an altogether different gun.

Industrial Strength Stupidity

Colt stopped manufacturing AR-15’s because there are too much stock. What Dick’s did must be music to Colt’s ears. They might be back in production earlier thanks to this boneheaded move that hurts noone but Dick shareholders.

“Yes, they are a public company. I am sure there was a write off for those guns.”

Which we will all lose as tax payer revenue! This cost us, not them!

The IRS should rule that any company that deliberately destroys its own merchandise due to other than health reasons should not be able to write off the loss on their taxes.

Okey dokey. If they want to trash millions of their own money and merchandise, let them.
