Which is ridiculous.
Let the free market play out. If a bar doesn't want to sell alcohol to anyone under 45 years old, let them.
So if a business doesn't want to serve a certain class of people attempting to engage in legal commerce, that's OK now right? Now its OK for a bakery to refuse to provide service for a gay wedding? What if a coffee shop doesn't want black people in their store?

Maybe they'll cut the barrels off resulting in creating thousand of illegal SBRs. I mean, if you're retarded enough destroy your own inventory just so you can virtue signal to others, you're retarded enough to do anything.

People on this board can never comprehend that when these things happen
I'm sure they did a lot of research into their markets and demographics. These are intentional plays by these corporations, but Bubba and Boudreaux think they're "stickin it to those idiots!" by not buying their Toonces gear at Dick's anymore.

In my opinion, of course.
Free market would work all of those things out without government involvement.

Private company making its own choices. I don't see why any freedom-loving American would have a problem with this.

So the big 2nd amendment proponents are upset at a private business exercising its rights?

Calling a business move Ill-advised and stupid is different Than wanting to force them to do or not do business with certain people.
That’s the progressive way.

Don't have a problem with this as long as the shareholders and BoD are ok with it. Got a pretty big problem if this was mandated by the government though. Don't like the decision shop somewhere else, beauty of living in a free market system.

Nice try at a gotcha, but it wasn't.

For some reason I don’t see the shareholders being okay with destroying valuable inventory in order to virtue signal to people who probably don’t shop there

Jimmies be rustled.

Dick's is inviting commentary by announcing this action.
