Dick’s, Major Gun Retailer, Will Stop Selling Assault-Style Rifles

So where's your link? Or are you making this stuff up as you go?

I certainly didn't make up Sandy Hook, Vegas or Parkland. I don't know how you can suggest I did.

 

[cnm]

It seems to do fine on people, too.
Do I want to ask why you shoot goats?

They are declared noxious. It's a public service to shoot them on public land.

 

[Darkwind]

Someone should inform them that they didn't sell 'assault type' rifles before.

So, they would say they are operating as 'business as usual'.

When weak semantics is all you got... you ain't got much.

I agree. If you want to scare people, you best do a better job of it.

 

[cnm]

Am I wrong?

Yes.

 

[Missourian]

Anyone who thinks the AR platform is a good hunting platform is stupid. I assume that includes you.

Made a thread just for you to explain your rationale...Many hunters use AR15s...

Maybe he/she is in Australia.

They're idiots.

Columbine happened under the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban.


That's worth repeating.

Yes. Handguns need to be severely regulated too, in order to reduce the rate of public massacre and the firearm homicide rate. Also, nearly 50% of homicides are committed with handguns in the US.

Nah, people slightly smarter and just as dishonest did.

 

[Missourian]

Right...no reason but because you say so.

Sorry, but as you know nothing, your opinion is suspect.

 

[Darkwind]

Playing the "That Isn't What You Call It" game is getting old.

For gun nuts it will never get old. They have nothing else.

When you anti Constitutional gun grabbers have nothing but lies so that you can scare people into supporting giving up their rights, it isn't those who defend the Constitution that has nothing left.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

I just sent a thank-you e-mail to Dicks.

Good idea! I plan to also.. And of course give them lots of business.

If you haven't darkened Dick's door so far, you likely won't in the future. Gaurantee you that their regular gun owning customers will not be shopping there in the future.

 

[EverCurious]

Her body = her choice 100% == 2nd amendment = their choice and I'd argue that /ANY/ attempts at regulation are against the base principles of "freedom," even if you want to toss in the [communistic] caveat of "reasonable freedom."

There are exactly /zero/ law abiding gun owners shooting up schools, concerts, etc.

Never heard of ‘em.

Dick’s, Major Gun Retailer, Will Stop Selling Assault-Style Rifles

One of the nation’s largest sports retailers, Dick’s Sporting Goods, said Wednesday morning it was immediately ending sales of all assault-style rifles in its stores.

The retailer also said that it would no longer sell high-capacity magazines and that it would not sell any gun to anyone under 21 years of age, regardless of local laws.

The announcement, made two weeks after the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that killed 17 students and staff members, is one of the strongest stances taken by corporate America in the national gun debate. It also carries symbolic weight, coming from a prominent national gunseller.

I quite like Mr. Stack.

Dunno how prominent he is. I'm sure he's a fine fellow, but he makes stupid business decisions (see above) based upon the emotional reactions of others.

He probably doesn't sell a lot of "assault rifles" (whatever those are), but I'd wager he just alienated a good number of general customers.

CVS Pharmacies in this region stopped selling cigarettes awhile back, in a noble attempt to appear noble and stuff.

People just went to the 7-11 half a block down.

Did you read the article? Watch the footage? He didn't knee jerk anything, he went based on his own feelings after the most recent shooting.

So ... why didn't he do it after the one before?

Kids. Which makes me wonder, why selling after Sandy Hook? Or is that the one where they stopped selling for awhile.

Anyone who makes a blanket statement about said platform without even a scintilla of elaboration and support, is the same.

It is the best hog gun on the market, in my opinion.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Yes

Excellent analysis.

You have a habit of giving nothing responses, don't you?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Yes. Handguns need to be severely regulated too, in order to reduce the rate of public massacre and the firearm homicide rate. Also, nearly 50% of homicides are committed with handguns in the US.

But, since Heller pretty much confirmed that hand guns are protected under the 2nd Amendment, ARs are the new communist left boogeyweapon, right?
