Dick's Crossed The NRA And They Hit Back Hard. Now Dick's Has To Deal With...The Best Sales Ever

[Fort Fun Indiana]

the story is fake news as per usual.

Which part? You forgot to say.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

In President Trump's economy no less. But what if they didnt [sic] stop selling guns, can you even imagine how much more they would of made? Oh well, I dont [sic] go to Dick's which should be put next to BJ's if you know what I mean......

Dick's should be compelled to change it's name to Pussy's.

The place is grossly overrated....Scheel's is way better.

Yep....the place is way over priced.
In Texas we go to Academy sports and outdoors.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

I use to shop a Dick's.

Now I wouldn't set foot in that filthy ass commie store.

Fuck 'em.

I know right? Who do they think they are not facilitating weapons of mass shooting? It's unnamurrikin.

Weapons of mass murder? You mean like handguns, the most common gun used in shootings...you moron.....

Mass public shootings in 2018....12....total killed, 93. Total killed with rifles, 33........you are an idiot......

18 million AR-15 rifles in private hands in this country.......less than 33 people killed with them in mass public shootings, you dope...


Bicycles killed more people.....so I guess according to you they would be weapons of mass killing...you moron...

This post ^^ demonstrates exactly what I mean when I talk about the gun fetish. Emotional basket-case wankers acting like an infant that's had its pacifier taken out of its mouth. Waaaaaaah. All for a fucking killing instrument.

And the childish hissy fit that ensues when a private company elects to stop selling AR 15s.

Now Dick’s is ‘the enemy,’ the store must be pilloried, vilified, and driven out of business.

That a reseller decides to not sell AR 15s doesn’t mean it’s ‘anti-gun,’ it doesn’t mean it’s ‘anti-Second Amendment,’ and it doesn’t warrant a boycott.

There are ample other venues that will continue to sell AR 15s, in addition to scores of online resellers.

 

[Porter Rockwell]

So, is disagreeing with your position a tailspin???

Calling a gun a "killing instrument" is not a "position". It is a simple fact. Calling a whale a "mammal" is, similarly, not a "position".

As a point of fact, the founders / framers referred to firearms as Liberty teeth.

And that's why you're a loser. In order to call a source non credible, you have to disprove the information in the article.

Can't do that can you loser?

Daily Kos is one of the most respected sites in the internet for a reason. The authors of the articles there post links of their sources for the information in their articles.

Not one of you losers has yet to attack the facts contained within the article. Just the source with no credible sources showing why they information is wrong.

So lets make this simple. So simple even a shit for brains conservative can understand it.

Question: Are Dick's sales up?

Take your time morons. I know that's a lot of information to process in an empty space as big as the one between your ears.

While its true that big business is still making profits while supporting their Democrat allies the story is fake news as per usual.

Instead of trying to penetrate your collectivist skull with common sense by explaining to you what propaganda technique was used here Ill just illustrate it with equally "truthful" headlines.

Americans elected Trump and now Dicks sales, in record breaking economy, are through the roof

Target didnt attack the 2nd amendment and now has to deal with record sales

Best Buy refuses to close stores for Earth Day...and has to deal with record sales now.

By the way when you click on your leftist Daily Kos link a box pops up attacking the Constitution and demanding petition signatures to ban the Electoral College.

Academy didn't bow to anti-gun zealots and they are having record sales this year.

Americans more easily recognized propaganda when we were fighting Marxism in the Cold War. But when that ended and they lost their base in the Soviet Union they infiltrated domestic institutions and began spewing propaganda from American based organs. Daily Kos is one of them.
For liberal puritans and pharisees propaganda means "must be a blatant lie that can be proven to be a blatant lie legalistically". But thats not the definition at all. Propaganda is when information is slanted to promote a particular ideology and very often logical fallacies are used. As in the case above.

And the childish hissy fit that ensues when a private company elects to stop selling AR 15s.

Now Dick’s is ‘the enemy,’ the store must be pilloried, vilified, and driven out of business.

That a reseller decides to not sell AR 15s doesn’t mean it’s ‘anti-gun,’ it doesn’t mean it’s ‘anti-Second Amendment,’ and it doesn’t warrant a boycott.

There are ample other venues that will continue to sell AR 15s, in addition to scores of online resellers.

They have the right to sell or not sell anything they want.

I have the right to boycott them for any reason whatsoever.

If they had just made the decision based on market demand then that would have been OK. After all the AR market is saturated nowadays and for some businesses the profit margin may not be enough to warrant shelf space. No different than the guy who use to sell ARs at the gun show but nowadays can't make a profit because everybody else is underselling them.

However, when the asshole management at Dick's comes out saying that an AR15 is some kind of evil destructive weapon that should not be sold in their store then piss on them. To me that is anti right to keep and bear arm. I'll not reward Moon Bat stupidity and hatefulness and lack of regard for the Bill of Rights like that.

I'll buy my sporting goods elsewhere. For instance, I am getting my nephew a baseball glove for Christmas. A couple of years ago I would have got it at Dick's because they have a store close by. Now I'll buy it elsewhere.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Moral of the story:

The vocal gun enthusiasts just aren't as many in number as they think they are. They make so much noise that they fool each other into thinking they number more than they really do, and that anyone and everyone who owns a gun is as strident and activist as they are.

Correct.

Rightist gun owners clearly miscalculated; they believed that by ‘boycotting’ Dick’s they would drive the company out of business and make an example of Dick’s to other gun resellers, that if they also stopped selling AR 15s, they too would be driven out of business.

Rightist gun owners were indeed wrong.

Really? So, when anti-gunners start out with the same, exact reasoning, it would be a "logical fallacy" as well.

The OP fails to prove his / her position. In order for the OP to be true, firearms would have had to constitute a substantial portion of Dick's yearly sales. So, IF what I posted is a "logical fallacy," then this thread is built on one.

 

[Bo Didleysquat]

Last year, the Parkland students took on the NRA. The student survivors of the massacre found themselves being viciously attacked by the right, but they held marches and rallies across the nation regardless, and intensely targeted the campaigns of cowardly legislators. Their efforts paid off. They got gun safety legislation passed in several states, and then shamed virtually every one of the NRA’s sponsors. The kids showed what many of us have known for years: that the NRA is a paper tiger. The one thing they could always count on is to get their minions to mobilize and strong-arm against any action whatsoever to stop gun massacres. I guess that’s not a thing anymore. The NRA is now a toxic brand, and it’s about damn time.

Dick's crossed the NRA, and they hit back hard. Now Dick's has to deal with...best sales ever

How about those yeti coolers?

In President Trump's economy no less. But what if they didnt stop selling guns, can you even imagine how much more they would of made? Oh well, I dont go to Dick's which should be put next to BJ's if you know what I mean......

Sounds like they wrote you off and don't need you.

The fair and balanced media tried to do what they always do and warned everyone that Dicks’ awoke a sleeping giant. Oh no, the NRA is going to boycott!! Those always work! The NRA promised that they would ensure that Dick’s sales would plummet. Sure enough, the NRA geniuses were out in force with dozens of YouTube videos blowing up $300/$1000 Yeti coolers—that they had already paid for—to, you know, “own” the libs.

Then we learn that golf stuff and designer work out clothing are the meat and potatoes of Dick's sales.

"The vast majority of Dick's business is selling sporting goods like basketballs and sneakers. Joseph Feldman, a senior managing director at the Telsey Advisory Group, estimated that guns and ammunition account for 8 percent of the company's sales."

The propaganda war is never ending but also the "left ratchet". The money powers and the corporate boardrooms are leftist. They have to be satisfied first. Meanwhile Americans dont generally embrace the ideological purity the left demands of their own and so they carry on with their lives. Ask them if they approve another huge multinational corporation attacking their Constitutional rights and supporting Democrats and they will say no...but sell them a camping lantern for cheap and they will flock in because they arent obsessed with taking down a country or corporation.
Life gets in the way. If you arent media, a corporate bigwig, a tenured professor, a union boss, a government worker or a welfare recipient then just surviving comes first and ideological purity a far distant second.
