“The sporting goods dealer’s mouthpiece said the firearms would be destroyed at regional distribution centers and the parts sent to a salvage yard for recycling.”
I’ll bet a few of those rifles and parts will be marked as “destroyed” right after they leave the building under some guy’s coat.
ROFL There is not, however, a store named “breasts.”
Break that place and drive their asses out of business, like we did to Kmart back in the 90s when they cozied up to the Klinton Crime Regime and Rosie O’Donnel.
We can be “Dicks” too, when we need to be. And now is the time to be.
Not a tax expert, but will taxpayers will subsidize this? Is Dick’s allowed to write off this self-destroyed inventory as a loss? Will they be able to claim external harm to their reputation as a reason for future declining sales and then deduct that too?
“Common sense gun reform...”
...because the first 30,000 gun laws weren’t enough.
Virtue Signaling jerks. I hope they go under.
To me, having Dick’s chop out their gun inventory is like having gender reassignment surgery. They ought to change their name while they’re at it.
Didn’t see your post, but that’s exactly what I was thinking.
Kum & Go! We used to live where a Kum & Go (Krause/Gentle Corp.) was the default convenience store (before the Casey’s stores became ubiquitous). Kum & Go didn’t seem remarkable to us after a while, but whenever guys from the east coast came to town for a business meeting, they would spot the store and go into a state of high hilarity while taking pictures of each other standing in front of the sign.
“I hope all their crappy stores burn to the ground with their corporate “leadership” trapped inside.
‘eff them.”
The Dick’s I’ve seen...wait, that doesn’t sound right. Let me rephrase....the Dick’s stores I have been in seemed more like Gap, Old Navy or some other overpriced Chinese clothier that had a half-assed firearms section in the back. If I want clothes and guns in the same store I’ll go to Cabelas or Bass Pro.
Unintentionally apropos.
Obscure accounting reference there. Nicely done!
Send them to Texas. Obama did it and they sold like hotcakes then were brought back across the border and used on American citizens. “Fast and Furious”

Will the recent tax reform bill allow DKS to write off the hardware and/or reap some obscure tax benefit?
Not that it was this President’s intention, but just wondering.
“ROFL There is not, however, a store named “breasts.”
Ulp...busted! By the way, just how does one misspell “Dick’s”...hmmmm?
Before Dick’s went into virtue signalling mode they had a big sale on the Mossberg Model 88 for $199. I was lucky enough to get one of the last ones in stick. Yep, pissing off your customer base is great for business.
I don’t know if Dicks ever sold guns like AR-15, but I doubt it. They are really a clothing and sports apparel store now, with some sporting equipment thrown in for decoration.
As such, I think its a completely empty PR gesture
