I doubt they'll have 3rd party verification. Or maybe their inventory is so tiny they think this will be a net advertising plus, but I think they underestimate pushback from gun owners. If they're going to do this they might as well stop selling all firearms and related stuff altogether and go full anti.

Was chatting with a guy at Walmart yesterday. Will be interesting to see the age lawsuit against Dicks in MI and what happens.

Someone write a story about how shareholders are unhappy with the waste, and how these guns could have been donated to rural and intercity police.

no! gunz is evil, they will kill innocents no matter who's hands they're in

The manufacturers should invoice them for the FULL ADVERTIZED price of the guns they are destroying then. Since they say they are doing the right thing.

I always thought they were called Dicks because their prices were hard to swallow.

The sporting goods store, under fire for refusing to sell rifles to anyone under the age of 21, is now officially lobbying Congress for gun control, according to federal lobbying activity records.

Turds.

A store is lobbying to reduce its own customer pool and destroy its own business...

How about Dick's simply closes down and stops all sales voluntarily instead of trying to force rules onto others?

Interesting times.

Man . . . in a sick, twisted way you have to admire folks like whoever controls Dick's. They sure put their money where their mouth is, even if it beats the hell out of their business.

But that's just it. They are doing it for PR.

Do you think? I just can't imagine that they're selling more shoes, basketballs and fishing rods because of their anti-gun stance.

I wonder what percentage of their sales firearms and related items are...
And would like to compare that to their average profit margin.

Me thinks they've done the math, and they are counting on the anti-2A wave to make it a profitable move.
Also a decent chance that they have some genuine hardcore anti-2A people on their BOD, and any pro-2A are either weak or quiet.

+1

Just like Freddy figured out. They can’t compete and provide the service. Might as well make a political statement on the way out the door to pander to the base.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Dick's.

The above came in email. Link to the actual press release. ^

Good!

We don't need anti-gun businesses and organizations infiltrating gun organizations.

I'm still lobbying the WAC to throw out LPG as a vendor and possibly as a member.
