Dick’s Sporting Goods Makes A Courageous Political Statement

.

Two weeks after seventeen students and staff members were killed in the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, Dick’s Sporting Goods took steps to limit their sales of firearms. Announcing a policy change, Dick’s would no longer sell any gun to anyone under 21 years of age, regardless of local laws.

In addition to the new policy concerning the age requirement, the company also ended sales of all assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines in its stores.

Despite a frivolous age discrimination lawsuit filed for Tyler Watson, a 20-year-old boy from Gold Hill, Oregon, Dick’s Sporting Goods is standing firm on this and other policy changes concerning the sales of deadly weapons and other related paraphernalia.

To assure certain dangerous weapons currently in their inventory never wind up in the hands of the wrong people, Dick’s has decided not to return the many items to the manufacturers for reimbursement and redistribution to other dealers. Instead, Dick’s will destroy all such inventory, taking the hit in the company’s bottom line.

A spokeswoman for Dick’s Sporting Goods told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, “ ‘We are in the process of destroying all firearms and accessories that are no longer for sale as a result of our February 28th policy change. We are destroying the firearms in accordance with federal guidelines and regulations.’ ”

The specified weapons will be destroyed at the company’s distribution centers, after which the resulting scrap will sent to a salvage company to be recycled.

Given the growing number of corporations distancing themselves from the NRA, and retailers changing their policies so as to limit people’s ability to purchase dangerous weapons and attachments, it’s apparent times-are-a-changin’.

The surviving students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have inspired, not only a grassroots movement in school age kids, their parents, and adults nationwide, but also forced radical changes in the U.S. political climate and the corporate mind set.

A few congressional Republicans have shown a willingness to work to pass commonsense gun regulations, while others are beginning to see the writing on the wall. They, like House Speaker Paul Ryan, have tucked their tails between their legs and are resigning or retiring, rather than face the hundreds-of-thousands of high school students who will be 18 YOA, who will definitely vote this November, and will be a major influence in the 2018 mid-term elections.

Thanks for the Dick's Heads Up.

None of this will mean Dick to slowing the incidents of school shootings WHATSOEVER, it will just Dick Off more Dick customers, and is only going to backlash into hurting Dick Sporting Goods. Good for them. just one more reason not to shop at the Big Dicks.

So one lesbian said to the other "what's a Dick for"?


Seriously, if you are into hunting and other shooting sports and you see a company like this that gives every indication they could turn on the sport tomorrow in the blink of an eye and do a total ban on guns and ammo purely out of PC just to make headlines (or very stupid lawyers) and they are already expensive to begin with, why would anyone even want to bother with them at all?

The left wing nut jobs who applaud this....aren't their customers.....and their potential customers...are the one's they are making made with the sucking up to the leftards.....the CEO needs to be fired over this stupid policy....
 
And yet Dick's hasn't stepped up to the plate to do a damned thing about those things which are actually a threat to our young people.

Texting while driving, drug abuse and drinking while driving which kills approximately 1000 times more young people each year.

So Dick's is just another outlet for America hating Progressives. Big surprise.

If you value your Constitutional Rights. RESIST Dick's Sporting Goods Stores. Simple.
 
The makers of the bump stock are going out of business as well.
Preppers and whacko conservatives everywhere will start stocking up on slimjims and chupacabra repellent in preparation for the end of all things.

Funny....but I don't think things will transpire at ALL the way you nuts are expecting.
I have a feeling something's coming that will make you nuts forget all about the gun issue.

Few are taking this seriously.....I've been following it for years.

If---.make that when---- these strains get into the GP and begin to gene swap with their fellow bacteria...half or more of the Earth's human population will be wiped out in months. It's happened many times before under names like "The Plague". It's just nature and we've pushed it back for about 75 years now.

But this time, given that you can travel the globe in one day and the huge increase in population.....it will come fast and be devastating.

We could go to bed tonight and awaken to an entirely different planet tomorrow.

Will this happen in our lifetimes? It's already beginning. You tell me.

So in summary, Dick's (and people like you) are fools focusing on the insignificant and trivia.

You construct an entire phony world in your head. Perhaps you can go buy a gun to 'pertect yerself an' yer clan from the super bugs'. Not worth any more reply than that.

That's why SMART business people like ME diversify.
 
MAGA. Dick's Knows Best! For a better America. Again, that's an odd sentence.

It's just the right thang to do for civilian public safety.
Some Dick's Love America's kids at least. FFS!

Dick's Sporting Goods to destroy all unsold assault-style weapons

:11_2_1043::thankusmile: there Dick's! That's an odd sentence. But...
:yes_text12::yes_text12::yes_text12::yes_text12::11_2_1043:

btw: If anyone finds a video of them being scrapped, post it for DOPer Gun Nutters to enjoy!


They are destroying the most popular model of rifle in the United States......to make people who do not go to Dick's sporting goods like them....while they piss off the actual people who would go to Dick's sporting goods.....and while they are offending and driving off gun owners, their logical customer population.......they do nothing to stop criminals or mass shooters...

For an empty gesture, they are destroying their business...

The CEO of Dick's needs to be fired immediately.....
 
Another bed wetter parrots the same thread yet again.

It's only fitting I parrot my own response I suppose.

Only in whatever sphincter functions as a bed wetting libturd's "mind" is a company making "A Courageous Political Statement" by "destroying" products they stopped selling years ago.


Dick's Sporting Goods' 'new' policy of not selling AR-15 rifles is just a stunt

For starters, it's been six years since Dick's stores sold AR-15 rifles. The company ended sales shortly after the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre. Field & Stream, on the other hand, has been selling them. That ends today. Though the news alerts aren’t wrong, there’s a difference between saying Dick's, which has 600-plus locations, has ended all sales versus saying the same of Field & Stream, which has 35 locations.

Yet they will get free advertising appealing to sniveling douchebags that likely never buy anything from them anyway by destroying a few rifles?


When I assert that American moonbats are dangerously stupid mother fuckers I am in no way jesting. Yes I ridicule and mock these imbeciles in every post but I am dead serious when I say they are Weapons Grade Stupid. They are indeed being used as weapons by criminally insane sociopath totalitarians hell bent on civil disarmament.

Thanks to the OP for yet another opportunity to prove my case yet again.

Maybe we should hang him too. Or just shove him off a balcony. That would work.

I WANT TO WATCH.


Do you understand how stupid this gesture is? How counterproductive it is to their actual business? Of course, since you are a left winger you don't understand that the purpose of a business is to actually make money.....
