WTF..Grunt Style shirts at Dick???!

[weekendracer]

The other side is winning because they stick together and get in peoples faces. Can u imagine if half the gun owners in this state took the day off from work and stormed beacon hill...unarmed of course.

Wouldn't matter if you were an ass about it. The ability to communicate with people without resorting to name calling is what will win people over. The image of a gun owner as a loud mouth hick is hard to overcome when you sound like a loud mouth hick.

I live in the south, Katrina opened a lot of eyes down here. That won't happen again, I promise you. These people in the bayou don't mess around when they get their dander up.

I didn’t say be a loud mouth hick. I gave an example of about 200,000 people going to beacon hill and letting our state legislators know to cut the shit. Do u really think if something else happens in the bayou the gov won’t do the same exact thing???...

If 200k people would show up, yeah, it'd make a difference. 200k people not yelling chants, or waving scary guns around. The person who felt the need to resort to saying I'm the one on my knees, or interested in male parts, would be the one that the cameras would focus on and you'd still lose and lose big.

Until the 2A supporters quit eating their own, we'll never win. It's not about boycotting, we simply are not a large enough group to pull that off. The stats don't lie, most guns in the United States are owned by a small group of people. The 300 million firearms aren't owned by 300 million people (obviously), cut out the fuds and the number gets even smaller as to people who really support the 2A.

By comparison, the state overall has about 413,980 active permits as of Jan. 3, a licensing rate of 61 permits for every 1,000 residents, Mass news article taken from a 2017 article, you'd need 50% of every permit holder in the state to get to your 200k number, how likely is that? That number dropped to less than 400k in 2018. How many of those 400k permits are fuds who think they'll never come for their shotgun or bolt rifle? Simply put, the masses of Mass either don't care or are anti-firearm. You have a shot at the 'don't care' crowd, the blindly anti-2A are pretty much a writeoff.

Dick's sells a lot of products. Are you going to boycott all the companies that produce them or just the one that is owned by vets.

I personally don't wear Grunt Style products, but only due to the fact that's not my style. I'm retired Army, but I don't feel the need to leave my house wearing items that solicit empty "thanks for your service" comments.

So, if you're pissed at GS, you might try 1776 United instead.

Great quality from the couple shirts I have. Fit well and are nice and soft. They also had the Whiskey Rebellion shirt, which is the only place I could find one.

I did not say bring signs and guns, I said unarmed of course. I’ll give u an example. When the Casino debate was raging and the MA legislature wanted nothing to do with it the Unions organized and went to Beacon Hill. There was a rally in front(no signs) and then everyone went to there respective reps and demanded they approve Casinos in MA. It worked. And the number was a fraction of 200k. Can u imagine if we were to do the same with a fraction of our 400k?...

I attended the GOAL Rally on the Boston Common in the mid 90's. Gun clubs hired buses to bring gun owners into Boston, there were about 4000 of us. Big news and Margery Eagan found the only Black guy who was wearing a cowboy hat, boots and belt buckle and he was the lead interview on the nightly news. This State is gone as far as rights are concerned because the sheeple no nothing else but one party corrupt rule.

I mostly see those shirts being worn by bearded hipsters/lumbersexuals and crossfitters.

Lumbersexuals....lol....brilliant!

I definetly don’t shop at dicks, and judging by your post u do. That’s great u can afford it. I don’t golf, play soccer, lacrosse, softball or basketball. So the only thing left really is ammo, fishing gear and some outdoor clothing stuff. I obviously buy that elsewhere. You and some others are missing the point. The Company prides itself on being Veteran owned and ready to die for the 2A. Then they push thier product in a chain store whose CEO is trying to destroy the 2A. Does that make any sense at all?

I agree, has anyone tried contacting the company about this issue?

Yes. They said they would send it up the chain of command. I said thank you and please confirm u have cancelled my account. They are trendy cool T-shirt’s that I don’t need that bad. I can spend the lousy 20 bucks a month elsewhere. Including renewing my membership here with all u fine Patriots!!!!

Ehh not my style at all, I’ve alway thought the in your face ‘Murica! Stuff is justly puffed up bullsh!t and their 2 faced messaging vs vendors just proves that in my opinion. They sell to a group that mostly doesn’t mean the message plastered all over their apparel..

 

[amm5061]

No problem. They're running a 15% off sale right now, actually according to the website. Promo code SPRING19
