Dicks to stop selling that nasty AR.

Posted on 02/28/2018 5:10:01 AM PST by Slingwing

Did Dicks make the corporate decision to stop selling the dreaded AR, high capacity mags and change the age to sell a firearm to 21 on their own or were they pressured? At any rate I will not be shopping at Dicks any longer over their stupid heart string tug decision. The AR has never killed a sole or creature without the assistance of a human to make the interaction function as designed.

Again? Didn’t they take this virtue-signaling stance before to their detriment?

Dicks stopped selling the dreaded sport utility rifles quite a while ago. Bet you can still get 5.56 there.

Who cares? I haven’t been in Dicks store in at least ten years. And, I’m for sure not going to start shopping there now.

Dick's is at it again.

I believe they were the ones to stop selling ammo or something after one of the shootings.

This is not a surprise and won't help their sales. The people that they're catering to wouldn't have bought a scary, evil, black gun to begin with!

I’m surprised Academy sports hasn’t put them clean out of business yet. A bit over priced IMO.

They did this before, and i stopped going there years ago. This is not new, i don’t think?

Geez.
"...We said, ‘We need to do something,'" Stack, whose father, Dick, started the business 70 years ago, explained. "And we’re taking these guns out of all of our stores permanently."

“Again? “

I think so, I remember some years ago they stopped selling black rifles. I ignored them so hard back then I didn’t notice when they started again.

OR, they never started selling ARs again and are just reminding us now of that decision from, maybe, eight years ago.

I wouldn’t purchase any firearm from a sporting goods store anyway. Batting gloves and sweat pants, yes, but no firearms......

We didn’t shop there anyway. Now we have another reason to not shop there.
