Dick’s, Major Gun Retailer, Will Stop Selling Assault-Style Rifles - …

One of the nation’s largest sports retailers, Dick’s Sporting Goods, said Wednesday morning it was immediately ending sales of all assault-style rifles in its stores.

The retailer also said that it would no longer sell high-capacity magazines and that it would not sell any gun to anyone under 21 years of age, regardless of local laws.

The announcement, made two weeks after the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that killed 17 students and staff members, is one of the strongest stances taken by corporate America in the national gun debate. It also carries symbolic weight, coming from a prominent national gunseller.

Don’t buy anything from Dicks anyway,There’s a reason they call it Dicks....

 

[SLG6056]

Can't stand that place. Don't need to be treated like a criminal for buying a box of ammo. Screw them.

 

[22lr]

Wow, retailers are really losing their minds right now. They can obviously do whatever they want and I can (and will) choose not to give them my business.

 

[StevieP]

They said rhe same after Newtown.

They still sell shiploads of .223 and 5.56 NATO ammo though...

 

[Dip Dungles]

Who? Stopped shopping there once they asked for my personal info along with my license twice.

 

[Radtekk]

I'd say I won't buy from them but i already don't buy from them.

 

[rep308]

Didn't they already do this or did it once before and started selling them again?

 

[Asaltweapon]

Dick's is for dicks.

 

[mousegunguy]

They are dicks

Didn’t they also screw over one of the major AR manufactures? Order a bunch of ARs and then cancel after Newtown? I seem to remember they got all outraged before quietly resuming sales after a while.

Rarely is a company SO appropriately named.

The fuddery isn’t just fuddery....it’s activism fuddery. So, they are 100% against us. F them regardless of any deal on any product.

Screw those bastards. They’re still selling other instruments of death.

Dicks sporting goods will have to close its doors for good. Never bought anything there in the first place. Just more useless idiots

The entire NES community not buying there hasn’t had any effect on them at all as you see.

 

[Mesatchornug]

If only I could afford to go spite shopping at my LGS right now.

In a few months, when this all dies down, I'm sure they'll be back on the shelves again, just like after Newtown.

 

[nastynatural]

Maura likes Dicks now!

 

[DispositionMatrix]

Publicly-traded company. They can see the writing on the wall and don't want to be in the crosshairs of an emboldened civilian disarmament lobby hiding behind children.

Stick to selling sporting goods at inflated prices you pricks. Why would we listen to what a SGS has to say when it comes to laws? In reality all they are doing is a cut and paste to appease the stay at home moms who shop there.

And this is different from their prior stocking practices how?

They did the same thing in 2012 although I guess it was just some kind of pre-made troy build they stopped selling. FDSG and F troy.

 

[Boris]

Dicks are dicks everywhere, even in NH they axe for IDs. f*** 'em.

 

[icyclefar]

But now all ammo will be packaged at 10 rounds maximum, limit one box per customer per day.

If you want to shoot a round of trap you’ll need to be stockpiling over a three day period to accumulate the the 25 rounds you’ll need.

I wouldn't really know, but from what I gather they have not carried AR-pattern rifles in their "Dick's"-branded stores for a while, and the latest move is to remove them from their Field & Stream stores. But someone who shops there could provide better insight.

 

[pupchow]

Seems that policy be in play at their sister stores, Field & Stream. Being that I only see a Mini 14 listed.

Shops in MA won't sell me an AR either. And the same shop that won't sell me an AR won't sell me an M&P 15-22 w/adjustable stock.

 

[Christian]

I used to get gift cards for the store in the past and had never even seen a scary black rifle(Hanover, Ma.), did they ever at some point actually sell them?

They are a national chain. NES isn’t a national brand, but the reaction will be national.

 

[BrianWilson]

More money in gym shorts, Patriots gear, and $300 sneakers.

 

[MAGA99]

F these morons, however, I don't think I will not be able to shop at their going out of business sale. Can't wait.

The comments section is all Anti-2A people too. Like when I checked a while ago I found one pro-2A guy.
