Dick's has done it again

No more AR's at Dick's. Another reason why I never go there. They also will no longer sell firearms to anyone under 21.

Dick’s Sporting Goods to Stop Selling Assault-Style Rifles in Its Stores

New York (AP) -- Dick's Sporting Goods will immediately end sales of assault-style rifles in its stores and won't sell guns to anyone under 21 years old following the school massacre in Parkland, Florida.

Dick's Chairman and CEO Edward Stack said on "Good Morning America" Wednesday that after the shooting the company "felt it needed to do something."

Stack says that the gunman, Nickolas Cruz, had purchased a gun at a Dick's store, but not the one used at the school shooting, even though all existing rules were followed. Stack says that the system that's in place won't stop sales to dangerous people and said lawmakers must do something.

Stack said Dick's is prepared for any potential backlash, but will not change its policies on gun sales.

Dick's has been a no-go to me for years.
They're right up there with Cheaper Than Dirt.

Dick’s sucks.

I already give their store the bird when I drive by. Guess I will make it two birds now.

When Dick's takes every single AR off the shelf and proves they've been added to the #oneless campaign, they MIGHT be making a difference.

But they won't, more likely they'll send them back to the distributor and pay twice for shipping with no sale.

I stopped going there many years ago. Overpriced merchandise, you get the gauntlet of questions at checkout, and I don't approve of their business model. They are up there with BestBuy at checkout. "Do you want this magazine, do you want this card, are you sure, how about a warranty"....Geezus I just wanted to buy something and get out. That alone was enough for me to never go back years ago.

^ Yes. It looks like TGT can do nothing additional to punish these folks.
What about Field & Stream? They're Dick relatives I believe.
NM, I finally read the article. -yes F&S also.

I think the last time I had been to Dick's was in the 90's, even then they were over priced.

 

[sobi1998]

They built a new mega store by my house last year. Barely go because they're over priced, staff are ignorant pricks, and terrible selection. Final nail in the coffin for me!

Dick’s sucks.

I see what you did there...

 

[Merldizzle]

They live up to their name... has always been an overpriced soccer Mom store to me. Crap like this just reaffirms it.

 

[Lunyfringe]

Eatabagof...

Never bought anything there, went in once during something they called a "sale"... but too expensive then, so I figured they were the Apple of sporting goods

 

[General Zod]

Yep, I'll continue to give Dick's the exact same amount of my money as I already do...
