As ardent a supporter of the 2nd Amendment as am I, what business is it of the courts what a company sets as its sales policies? Think wedding cakes. If Dick’s wants to commit corporate suicide by taking firearms out of Sporting, let them. The Free Market will solve any such issues. Dick’s will never see a penny of my hard-earned money.

And if they want to settle a case, that is their right. We don’t know the terms but we do know from history that companies weigh the cost of litigation against the proposed settlement. No conclusions can be drawn from this.

Speaking of which, the Stormy Daniels / Creepy Porn Lawyer settlement by DJT is a good example of a relatively paltry sum to make an annoyance go away. What was it, 115k or so? Chump change. How fast can a lawyer rack up a fee like that /rhetorical. Didn’t SeeBS pay 5M for their hush money? That’s the range of payoff where you know there’s there there.

And Shakespeare was right (NOT a call to action, just an observation).

It’s not the court’s business in many cases, like what hours to keep or what merchandise to carry. For better or worse, there are discrimination laws and a retailer can’t choose who to sell to based on an age threshold that contradicts the law. When someone does that it becomes the court’s business.

Good Point. Last time I stepped foot inside Dick's I bought a Mossberg Model 80 they had on sale for $199, minutes before they ran out of stock. This was before they made this dumbass marketing blunder capitulating to the gun grabbers. Now, I refuse to patronize them. Let the market decide their fate.
