Dick's Sporting Goods to stop selling firearms at 125 stores

The chief executive officer of Dick’s Sporting Goods said Tuesday the retailer will stop selling firearms at 125 of its stores, The Wall Street Journal reported.

In a conference call, Dick’s CEO Ed Stack said the retailer will remove guns and some hunting gear after testing the idea in 10 stores last year, the newspaper reported.

The move continues a rollback that Dick’s began last year, when the company announced it would stop selling assault-style guns and would not sell weapons or ammunition to anyone under the age of 21. That announcement, made in the wake of a mass shooting that killed 17 people at a Parkland, Florida, high school in February 2018, resulted in a sales slump of 3.9 percent for the three-month period that ended Nov. 3, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The space the weapons occupied will be used to sell licensed sports gear and outdoor recreation equipment, Stack said during the conference call.

“Airplane” takes a shot at Reagan but they also take a shot at Jewish athletes, black guys and others too.

The writers of Airplane! also did Top Secret!:

Nick Rivers: Oh, really?
Hillary Flammond: But he was one of the lucky ones. He managed to escape in a balloon during the Jimmy Carter presidency.

Was he governor or president when that came out?

I don’t know. My mind is shot.

I don’t even know if he was governor when he ran.

I was 12. And not a particularly bright 12 year old at that :)

“What an appropriately named retail establishment.”

Sheeeeyit. While I was getting my car repaired today, the TV in the waiting room was showing a gay male couple smooching. One of the men was actually gay-married to another person. So, now that we have gay marriage across the land, we can now have gay adultery, too!

I fantasized taking a raft to Cuba during the Obama reign of terror.

Dick’s can now complete only with REI with their non-hunting outdoors metrosexual crap.

Absolutely!!

#### that forgetting stuff.

Gillette I won’t buy for a while.

I’m still on the fence about whether it is permanent.

That stupid commercial where the black dudes had to stop white guys like 4 times from harassing women may be a lifelong deal breaker.

somewhere online last month, I saw a sign on a gun shop window. “We’re not dicks.”
