I predict that the newly opened Dicks/Field and Stream in Cedar Park, TX will not last the year. The Cedar Park Convention Center is less than a mile up the road and they have a huge gun show once a month. Academy Sports is just around the corner.

Piss poor SJW business decision.

Dicks Sporting Goods, “Dear Congress, please make our idiotic voluntary restrictions not to sell AR 15s or sell to 18-20 year olds, so we can still keep our profits since we are out of the business for these markets.”

Right, jackasses. They want Congress to do their dirty work so other companies don’t pick up their lost profit on AR15s and selling to 20 year olds.

I hope they go bankrupt within the year. I mean out of business bankrupt, not reorganizing bankrupt. A pox on these commie idiots.

They’ll just write the loss off on their taxes and probably make money. You know the they could have returned the guns to the wholesalers for resale at another outlet.

Actually, if they REALLY want to virtue signal their pure SJW, they should buy another full round of inventory from the manufactures and destroy that as well.

That`ll show those evil gun manufacturers!

From what I understand it is illegal to destroy a firearm unless you are a Licensed Gunsmith.
The ATF. has specific directions to "De-mill" a gun and the serial number must be logged into the Gunsmiths register.
Perhaps Dick's will comply, but other nimrods who take it upon themselves to save Humanity from their weapons need to face the consequences of Federal Gun Laws.

Hope that the landlords for these Dick’s stores have double-checked their leases.

Flakey outfit, IMHO.

“Those drawing a paycheck from Stack’s ailing company might want to find new employment quickly, before the SS Dick’s sinks below the waves to join Gander Mountain, MC Sports, Sports Authority.”

Gander Mountain has returned under the name “Gander Outdoors”, resurrected by Markus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World and star of the CNBC reality show “The Profit”. The website is up and running and many former store locations are being reopened. Conservatives should note that after the Charlottesville incident, Markus Lemonis stated publicly, “If you are OK with what Trump said, don’t shop at my businesses.” I have not visited the reopened Gander store near my home so I can’t comment on it. I’m sure there is nothing it sells I can’t buy elsewhere.

I have observed in recent years the left has become very adept at using economic extortion to force funding of the Democrat party and progressive causes. Democrat politicians, social justice warriors, and the media have perfected tactics of using the court system and unfavorable publicity to “persuade” CEO’s to tow their line or suffer the consequences. Republican politicians, as usual, are sitting by quietly while the left uses these tactics to take their donor base away. Hollywood, media companies, and Wall Street are now solidly in the progressive camp. The push is on to force multinational corporations and retailers over to the progressive side. If this trend continues it is inevitable conservative GOP politicians will soon be unable to raise the money necessary to compete with Democrat candidates in political campaigns.

Sheer bluster. He’ll be a star at democrat cocktail parties. You can still walk into this anti gun place and buy all the 5.56 ammunition you can put in your shopping cart.
The markup on ammunition is good.

Loss????????????? What "loss"? They DELIBERATELY destroyed their inventory. Someone should report it to the IRS for them as a civic duty.

We’re Dick’s, and we’re determined to give our customers the shaft.

Half of them at least will disappear and then be reported destroyed.

Didn’t Mitt Romney finance Dick’s S.G. while at Bain Capital?

we will never ever spend one more cent at The Dick Store

WTF do these crazy Dicks think they’re doing, anyway?
Just how insane can people be and still manage to drive to work and stay on a corporate payroll?
