The founder of Dick`s:

DICK’S Sporting Goods was founded in 1948 when an 18 year-old Dick Stack was working at an ARMY SURPLUS in Binghamton, New York.”
What a betrayal to its founder.

(In 1948 you could buy all kinds of WW2 surplus weapons at an army surplus store with no ID, just cold, hard cash. [my CAPS])- You could buy an automatic weapon surplus US Army on the open market but you couldn`t use it for hunting!

[Infringement!] Even up to 1968, automatic weapons could be bought legally on the open market here.
Been there done that.

viz:

“Governor Dewey signed a bill yesterday fixing the opening of the 1946 deer season in the Adirondacks for October 20. The season will close Nov. 20.
Other bills of interest to local sportsmen signed this week include one prohibiting the use of automatic firearms in hunting. Designed as a safeguard against the use of rapid-fire weapons brought back by overseas veterans as war souvenirs, the bill defines an automatic gun as “one which will continue to fire as long as the trigger is held back.” Autoloading guns which require that the trigger be pulled for each shot are permitted, provide they contain not more than six shells.
The State Conservation Department was authorized to set open season for grouse or partridge concurrently with the season for woodcock.”-—

Automatic weapons and Machine guns were legal in NY State only 66 years ago, then illegal for hunting - Then “illegal” totally!
What happened? Answer: Illegal infringement of the Second Amendment by unjust criminal govts-
How long do we have to put up with this crap?
