I friggin hate Dick's and this doesn't change it.

They pretend to be a sporting good store and then try hard as hell to get rid of the Second Amendment.

They are doing this because store to store they get their asses kicked by Scheel's.

Also, notice the only mention of Christmas was written, not once was the word actually said.

Compare that with Scheels' Christmas commercial - where is the focus?

Huh? How does a private company stopping selling guns "go against constitutional rights?"
If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand the answer.

I'll try.

They were willing to give up a profitable part of their retail business to make a statement about gun control. Okay, willingly gave up shopping at their store.

Yes, you do. You are just too stupid to realize it.

"I'm going to promote a company that quit selling guns to protest my gun rights. I don't get involved in any of that thar politics though...duh huh."

They are political, and you play right into it.

I quit going to Dick's years ago. I haven't missed it.

No bro, if I can get a pair of running shoes at Dick’s for $25 cheaper than Academy, I’m going to use my fricking brain and save money. I don’t give a frick about gun laws or who sells them. I have more important things to worry about

And that's their decision. They knew the ramifications. But it doesn't infringe on your rights. They aren't trying to keep you from being able to buy a gun, they just choose not to sell it to you.

Is it dumb? Yes. Yes it is. But it's not violating rights.

No, but it is in support of taking my rights away. They would be happy if the liberal asswipes they cater to could take away our rights.

Not yet, but my son is on their management team and they are expanding 2-3 stores per year and the gulf states are on the radar.

They don’t sell any guns or ammo. I’m not a ban them kind of guy but if there is another option I take it over Dick’s.
