Two employees of Dick’s Sporting Goods store resigned after the company caved to anti-Second Amendment rhetoric by raising the minimum age requirement to buy a long gun to 21 from 18.
Alexander DeGarmo, 20, quit after he realized that under the new policy announced by CEO Edward Stack, he would not be able to purchase an item he sold as a sales associate.
“Until Edward Stack came out with these absolutely arbitrary and insane rules I had no issue [working there],” DeGarmo told Fox News. Another employee, 20-year-old hunter Griffin McCullar, resigned from Dick’s Sporting Goods citing similar reasons.
Dick’s Sporting Goods has been under fire from liberals demanding stricter gun control in the wake of the Valentine’s Day school at a Parkland, Florida, high school by 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz.

So a retail which sells to gun-lovers caves to the demands of gun-haters? It’s like a vegetarian trying to please hunters.
Is it just me or that’s crazy?
It’s absolute.
“Adhere to the law?? There is no law that says they MUST sell to anyone. They have the absolute right to refuse to sell to anyone....for any reason or for no reason at all. Gut is sufficient.”
Try it with blacks or moslems.
In principle, yes, but not reality.
You can still buy all the 5.56 ammunition that you are strong enough to carry out the front door. There’s tons of money for them to make just in that particular caliber.
So, you can’t buy AR15’s or their magazines. But, you can feed them to 30 round bliss in your current magazines with ammunition bought from them.
What law forces a business to sell rifles?
Excellent!
Sorry, can’t have it both ways.
Either it is age discrimination because an 18 yr old can legally purchase a fire arm and public accomodation forces busness to sell to everyone leaglly able to make the purchase.
-or-
You allow a christian baker to refuse to sell a cake to a homo.
Personally, I believe the first amendment freedom of assembly allows both the buyer and the seller, who both have voluntarily agreed to an exchange to go through. Should either party NOT want to participate, for any reason, they should be allowed to not conduct business.
But the left does not get to have it both ways.
“Christian Bake” .. love it! Agree!
About time kind hearted Christians -and other faith citizens - fight back when fake outraged, paid-to-protest, Soros Leftists force their mob rule BS on the majority. Time we strike back hard and swiftly to squash these misguided idiots. There are far too many responsible gun owners (from all parties) who say HELL NO to any gun grab tactics! Next...
Even cheaper prices at Dick’s ^Going Out of Business^ sale later.
You can't make the case that you're refusing to sell someone a legal product when they're of the age the law says can purchase that product is anything but age discrimination.
THAT CHART looks like Obamas war on everythin else too. Everything got worse under Obama.
Ahhhh hahahahahahaha!!!!
*breathes*
Ahhhhhh hahahahahahaha!!!!!
That. Was. Awesome!
Age discrimination.
Combine with a capacity limit on syringes. Problem solved!
Low capacity syringes would have saved John Belushi, no doubt. Nice catch.
True!
Dick’s is the kind of store I go into when I fail to plan ahead. Even then, I usually leave empty handed.
