not stores fault it is the local government passing laws on ammo sells. Like the state of Calif new ammo law I will have to get a background check to just buy in a gun store. Even If I buy out of state I have ship it to gun store that sells ammo I can not drive home.
No more Dick's sporting goods store for me

If someone thinks it's more important to be P.C. than to keep open the doors of a business someone work hard to get started, then so be it. How small minded can they be not to realize that whats P.C. today will change tomorrow but you will still be out of business, how stupid. It's simply Dicks turn.
I wish the best for the people who will lose their jobs over this.

The UPS Store is entirely unconnected with UPS. It's like H&R Block and the IRS. They just process things and add on a surcharge. I tried to ship a (perfectly legal) muzzleloader with them once. They wouldn't touch it. Personally, I'm done with UPS for an entirely different reason- I paid over $200 to two-day ship a couple of coolers, then they wouldn't honor the guarantee when they were not delivered on time- BECAUSE THE PACKAGES WEREN'T ENTIRELY COVERED IN CARDBOARD.
I wasn't so much referring to dicks as much as the attitude by many.
Dick’s sporting good did this back in 2012. They are just huffing and puffing to get their faces back in the lime light. Let’s be honest here. I’m about to say something really mean, but it’s true. No one cares about these kids. People say it because you’re “supposed” to feel that way. If people can capitalize off of this in anyway they can and they will.
If those 17 kids died in a bus accident they would’ve been a blip in the local newspaper. The fact of the matter is money can be made and agendas can be pushed so people are jumping on the bandwagon.

When did America become Land of scared and Home of the p###ies?
It’s 100% my generations fault. They wanted to be looked at the same as the civil rights movement, but had nothing to be outraged about.

You know they aren't going to destroy the ones they have .

The next time I go to Dick's the salutation will be, "Hello Stranger", I've never been in one after seeing their flyer at my mailbox.

Cruz bought a shotgun at Dicks's that was NOT used in the shooting.
They are also saying they will not sell firearms to anyone under 21 anymore. If the bakery that wouldn't make the wedding cake for the two lesbians was found guilty of discrimination, then if Dick's refuses to sell a rifle/shotgun to someone who is over 18 (the legal age for purchase) and under 21 then they should be prosecuted and face a civil suit for age discrimination.

Last time I was in Dicks my kid was a junior hunter...he is a Junior in College now. Pandering to a customer base and cutting out one they have not serviced for years is not "moral" it is simply money.
This is "social Responsibility" with a strong liberal philosophy. I was enrolled in a conservative college masters program regarding business/leadership. I quit after three classes that were so full of this twitter stoning socialist approach to "environmental and social activism" I decided I was not going to PAY to be filled with propaganda when I can get it free on the news.
When Google blocks and sifts search results on a regular basis, and is a monopoly on information, we are in an age of decline. People will do ANYTHING for peace, except sacrifice. "Peace, Peace they will cry..."

What would happen if we could disconnect the media for a week or more? Stop the outflow of corrupted and over biased opinions of dirty lawyers and politicians who only interested in lining their pockets with tax payer dollars and spreading chaos. When was the last time the media presented facts and promoted the well-being of our nation? Quit dividing the people and help organize a nation of respect and honor that we have lost. Sad.
Dick's sporting goods just ratcheted things up another notch, they decided to go on the news to announce that their company will no longer offer AR15 styled rifles or any accessories including ammunition for them. So, if you've got any question regarding Dick's position, they've come out publicly and announced it. They were never competitive price wise or the selection that they offered. All they've done is given sportsmen another reason not to do business with them.
Dicks not selling AR's is an easy PC "score", for those who keep score.
Which is most of America.
It's a slam dunk.
(but meaningless - as are there are millions of AR 15's in private hands.) !
pandering.
ploy.
to speak to the customer base.
and foster brand loyalty.
drive in-store traffic.
support family values.
and increase revenue.
dots connected.
I mean, who in the mainstream U.S. is pro-AR?
Those who don't own/ shoot AR's or care about a possible new AR ban are going to be
very very unhappy when a magazine ban morphs from AR mags to Rem 760's, to Sako drop box mags, to Rem 700's.
Personally I think we should refer to these as ARmalite 15's. They other connotation of AR is not helping anyone here.
