Huh,

IIRC weren't they in the same league as CTD?

Jacking prices to $100/magazine last assault rifle shitstorm.

There's a reason I don't go there but can't remember what it was.

I wonder, should we all email Federal, Winchester, etc and request they stop doing business with Dicks?

Yeah, apparently they only do this stuff for press/ratings because I distinctly remember them quitting after Sandy Hook. But that's the only time I ever hear anything about Dick's.

FWIW, they can suck my dick.

Yes, but it's a great opportunity to remind people how much they care.

If we lose 18, 19 and 20 year olds that's a significant portion of the population that won't care about guns at all when they vote and that attitude could stick for life. Doesn't everyone realize the larger game going on here? This is about culture wars and changing voting habits.

They also own Field and Stream which continued to sell them. They specifically state this now will include Field and Stream.

Yep. Its about trying to keep young people from entering the gun culture.

Here is an article on it:

About the 9th paragraph down, it explains the time line.

Mr. Stack said he hoped that conversation would include politicians. As part of its stance, Dick’s is calling on elected officials to enact what it called “common sense gun reform’’ by passing laws to raise the minimum age to purchase guns to 21, to ban assault-type weapons and so-called bump stocks, and to conduct broader universal background checks that include mental-health information and previous interactions with law enforcement.

I should not be surprised... But it hurts.
They're not just stopping sales of "assault-type weapons"... But they want to see that no American can own one.

Mr. Stack said Dick’s remained a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment and will continue to sell a variety of sport and hunting firearms.

Me thinks Mr Stack doesn't have a clue what the 2nd Amendment is about.

It will be interesting to see how fast someone files suit against any such law to have it struck down as an infringement. It will also be interesting to see how the various courts along the way square such a law with precendents (im thinking US v Miller)

Quote:
In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a "shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length" at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment, or that its use could contribute to the common defense.

Some of us are doing our part though, I've taken many students (friends of my sons) out to the gun range and introduced them to their "rights". Naturally with permission from their parents.

Youngsters like stuff people tell them they can't have based on age.

Alcohol ? Fake I.D.

Cigarettes ? Fake I.D.

Weed ? Go to your local dealer, or, fake I.D.

So, maybe telling youngsters they can't have firearms starts a back lash like Prohibition did for booze, like the nasty warnings did for cigarettes, and like the War on Drugs did for everything else.

It should be narrated this way by anyone on any public forum as well.

That - would make governmental control freak types heads explode - the thought that their stupid fucking legislation would pour gasoline on the fire of demand for firearms.
