Dick's CEO Edward Stack says the decision was a direct result of the high school shooting in Florida and the rallying cry from the kids at the school after witnessing the tragedy.

"We don’t want to be a part of this any longer," says Stack.

I went to Dick’s last December to do some Christmas shopping. Walked out of there with nothing. The store sucked.

This is the second time they “stopped” selling AR-15’s. They did it in 2013 and must not have had the same fanfare when they started again...

Bye bye Dick’s Sporting Goods! You’re making a huge mistake, most outdoor enthusiasts are Second Amendment supporters and like myself, I will not patronize your establishment again.

Let me get this right. So thousands will boycott them for not carrying products they don't even sell?

They must have a genius working for their sales and marketing department.

I just informed Dicks that: I and my family will NO LONGER bring my business to their stores. Additionally, I will encourage all friends & acquaintances to boycott their stores.

You can buy most stuff...on-line. Screw Dicks..and Cabela's.

Plenty of places you can shop for gun's and outdoor equipment..on-line.

I've purchased many rifles and pistols on-line.

Dick’s never did sell assault rifles.

I never saw one on display at Dick's but there were many other rifles not on display either.

There's only so much display room.

I do know that some time ago a clerk told me you could special order one there.

Don't know if that policy changed before this announcement or not.

Wrong they never sold assault rifles. They are just ending sales of rifles that look scary
