The most shocking development is that the conference call outlined a new policy requiring any sale of more than 10 boxes in a caliber that Academy deems an “assault rifle caliber” will require the buyer to furnish personal information that Academy is planning on keeping in a database, other employees have stated that they were just directed to “report the transaction” with no clear outline on how to do so

Looks like the rifles are still for sale just not on display.

Ill just give them false information to buy ammo. They aren't a government entity and I don't really care what they have on file for muhammed.

I'll believe it when it comes from a reputable source not a Reddit blogger.

Once again, I will sail my AR15 for $1500 to anyone with cash before they ban them in all stores.

I actually think we should all use the same name. That would be pretty funny.

They wont be banned. They would have to ban all semi automatic firearms. Not fricking happening.

10 boxes in a caliber


10 boxes of 20? 50? 100? Hope they start going out of business like Dicks did after they stopped selling scary black guns.

ACADEMY RIFLE SELECTION


The photos show two types available, but when you click on the model it redirects to the main page. Seems they've caved.
