Oh well. They should stop selling pistols and 22lr used in the VT massacre too.
who the fuck would buy their over priced shit anyway
>business ruins itself
no one cares
Do they think signalling to noguns liberalfags will be good for business or something?
Dicks is probably doing much less business now anyway. An easy way to save face when you need to downsize desu, smart move if true
Aint goin back. Their guns are shit and so are their experts behind the counter. They pulled this kind of shit before. May they tank.
They're afraid of getting sued or the bad press of selling a gun to a mass killer..
Kek what kind of gun store panders to liberals
The kind that either wants to lose business or is re-branding itself
>won't sell any gun to anyone under age 21
will there be a lawsuit over this?
An assault rifle is a fully automatic weapon which is already illegal. So what the hell is an assault-style rifle?
They've gone from a high of 60.52 down to 31.80 today. Granted most of that drop a few months ago.
I don't think a huge portion of liberals do their shoppin at Dick's.
>assault-style rifles
I'm not a gunfag but is this even a real term? To me it just reads 'things that look scary'.
Is the gun black? It's an assault rifle.
It's as legitimate as assault weapon.
semi autos ARE automatic weapons.
Fuck em. There are plenty of other retailers who won't virtue signal for liberal brownie points. Not to mention that liberals don't like sports at all anyway unless it's soccer.
Capacity of the magazine and speed of the round. Please use your brain.
They gonna be like Gander Mountain.
>is it black
You racist faggot.
>and just like that, fragile limpwristed leftists suddenly took an interest in hunting and sports
It was just that easy!
Guess I'll never buy a gun at dicks. Was planning on getting my first pistol/firearm there once I graduated college
What a bunch of Dicks
Is this one?
Seriously though, what's the plan here?
>Let's ostracize conservatives (likely our main customer base) while attracting no new customers
I-is this that 4D chess I'm always hearing about?
That's what the democrats rammed up our asses with the AWB, you cocksucker.
Libshits don't play sports. This will go over well.
>buying your guns from a big chain such as dicks or Big 5 to begin with
Not a big deal. Nobody I know would even walk into a Dick's for a firearm. Fuck em.
Well, looks like Dicks is off the menu. Shame Sports Authority shit the bed.
Oh only a small mag gee Idk now! Darn you're tricky!
Is it a high speed round? Then yes! Cmon why do I have to drag you though using your own fucking brain
>ye dude some kid shot up a school lets make some terrible business decisions and alienate our costumers , that will make kids not shoot up schools anymore .
amerifats are retarded . while no one other then the shooter himself is actually responsible for the shooting others do have a way to prevent it and its not the gun owners \ businesses , its the media .
if the identities of and interviews about school shooters were never mass published there would be no school shootings . the ability to rise from being some beta faggot whose name no one remembers in class to a worldwide celebrity overnight should not exist and is like heroin to american culture .
WHAT THE FUCK IS AN """ASSAULT-STYLE""" RIFLE?
Christ, people are so moronic.
Also
>Can serve in the military at 18
>Leftistshits don't want you to own guns at 18
No one buys guns from dicks. Also, they did this before after sandy hoax then a year later started selling them again. Stupid virtue signaling.
>not using the internet to buy your funz
Don't give (you)s to jews.
Virtue signaling while making a left turn. I am sure this will help reduce black rifle murders just like when the stopped selling handguns eliminated handgun murder.
DO NOT BUY A MINI 30 or 14. They seriously suck. Ruger treats them like a red headed step child. They're inaccurate, They jam. They seriously suck. Also, they're insanely overpriced. They're mags are over priced and heavy. Don't bother.
>muh speed
This is such a dumb argument. You can't dodge handgun bullets just because they only travel a third of the speed a rifle bullet does. Both are faster than sound.
will Dicks still sell 7.62×39mm ammo?
no one under 21 can afford a lawyer.
Yes they should
>sell me the gun, or I'm suing
Many pistols are also semi-automatic. Will Dick's sporting goods still sell those? It's so obvious that the slippery slope applies here.
It's pretty much smart business and using virtue signaling as PR.
>all the large general chain stores beside food retailers shrinking and losing massive shares to online businesses and people going back to local specialised or mom&pop stores
>oh well we could explain our losses by this and get a free PR stunt
I'm not even American, and I bet I know more than you about guns. 2$ says that you are a newfag from reddit.
>WHAT THE FUCK IS AN """ASSAULT-STYLE""" RIFLE?
>It must be capable of selective fire.
>It must have an intermediate-power cartridge: more power than a pistol but less than a standard rifle or battle rifle, such as the 7.92×33mm Kurz, the 7.62x39mm and the 5.56x45mm NATO.
>Its ammunition must be supplied from a detachable box magazine.
>It must have an effective range of at least 300 metres (330 yards).
No, it's not smart. I would have never bought my SEMI-AUTOMATIC handgun from Dick's Sporting Goods if I had known they were so easy to pander and virtue-signal.
This I thought that they had already gone out of business like circuit city. I haven't seen one in like ten years.
>amerifats literally have a chain store named after male genital
Degenerates.
Fully automatic firearms are legal on a federal level dipshit, they just need to be registered and have a tax stamp.
>bake the cake or I'm suing
I think a business should be able to refuse service to anyone for any reason or no reason at all.
Are they legal for the average citizen? And you call me a dipshit. What a fucking cocksucking faggot you are. Get on your knees, daddy government needs a suck.
There’s a war going on outside, no man is safe from. And it is only partially being fought with guns. The real weapon is information and the attack is on the mind. FUCK RUSSIA
Both the AR and the Mini 14 fires the 5.56 round, so yes they have the same "high speed round".
I'm sure you think the second rifle is an assault rifle just because it's black and has a pistol grip
>assault-style
what did they mean by this?
I'm pretty sure liberals don't play sports. Those things involve problematic outcomes like winners and losers
Is it that hard for burgers to boycott the Dick?
Lets Virtue Signal people who dont buy our product and annoy those who do
Why do so many companies fall for this shit
Yes they are you fucking ignorant shitstain, its a class iii firearms that requires a $200 tax stamp and the only thing preventing you from owning one is if you live in a nigger state like my or ca. Youre almost as educated as Nancy Pelosi on firearms you soy cuck.
>thinking theatre-fags will be buying sports stuff
>Think dindus will be buyin lots of shit
>Think gun-fudds will not be buying lots of shit
It's thinking conservatives have no backbone or commitment to respond. Look at Delta, they didn't think the Georgia GOP would go after their ass and deny them a 40 million dollar tax break. They don't realize gun-fucks are a lot more vindictive about boycots than milquetoast armchair activists.
When I went to dicks I didn't see hipsters. I saw lots of Cletuses in that ubiqtuous deerhunting camo. And Cletuses are not big fans of this kind of behavior.
Alinsky's Rule #4: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules"
Do try to keep up.
Who are you quoting?
miss me with that gay shit
this is treason.
what in the absolute fuck is an "assault-style" rifle? is it scary and black?
They should stop selling all guns that store is shit tier.
Would you have bought at all from them?
>Dick's
I will admit, I am not educated about the firearm laws, but it seems I was right. Not every American can own a fully automatic weapon. Imagine that.
Now get on your knees and open wide.
>decreasing your stock
>ostracizing your actual customers
no libtard is ever going to walk into Dick's for a firearm. How fucking stupid is this Ed Stack?
>Capacity of the magazine and speed of the round. Please use your brain.
oh look, an MSNBC "journalist" that's never shot a gun in his life. you're so fucking stupid
I hope so. fuck guns.
Well, I'll never go to that shithole again.
What the fuck is "assault-style" supposed to even mean? Black and scary?
>Is it a high speed round? Then yes! Cmon why do I have to drag you though using your own fucking brain
man I know you're an idiot but do you not realize there's two components of bullet velocity? speed AND the mass of the round? stop reading MSNBC you fucking mongoloid
you're literally buying into "omg that bullet goes 1400 feet per second, that sounds really scary" narrative that has absolutely no basis in fact
An AR-15 is not capable of selective fire.
And many other guns have all other qualities listed below this line.
What a dick move
If I lived in ca, ma, md, or any other of those shitlib states id prob listen to you and open wide but fortunately I dont.
>the only thing preventing you from owning one is if you live in a nigger state like my or ca.
you conveniently leave out the fact that automatic weapons typically cost upwards of TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
Out of convenience, I would have still bought some things there. It's just about a mile and a half from where I live so when family or friends visit we sometimes stop by there for sporting goods or camping gear. I wouldn't have bought my gun there though.
> Major gun retailer
Bullshit. Bass Pro Shops are far better.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah oh my God imagine not knowing that the kinetic energy of a round is proportional to its velocity squared and only linearly changes with mass
Most Dicks in NJ have never even stocked firearms.
There’s a war going on outside, no man is safe from. And it is only partially being fought with guns. The real weapon is information and the attack is on the mind. FUCK RUSSIA
Probably. They also sell hiking/backpacking/running/skiing/rockclimbing gear. All things that liberal hipsters love to do.
>pisses off half of remaining customer base
>company goes totally under
Yeah, totally smart move
Liberals go to REI
Virtue signallers are the dumbest shits on the planet.
This
their loss
other's will
social justice kills competitiveness
Only giving you shit because this pisses me off. It's the constant degradation of all our rights, not just the second amendment.
>and won't sell any gun to anyone under age 21, regardless of local laws.
Civil Rights Act complaint in 3, 2, 1....
So basically almost all type of weapons sold today are not assault style? Is that what these people trying to say? Why there is a crusade against assault rifles if there are almost none of them exist?
An automatic Mac 10/Uzi costs like $7,000.
The rest are $20,000 to $60,000. Good luck on getting them to sell it anyways.
Fuck you
>I don't think a huge portion of liberals do their shoppin at Dick's.
But liberals love dicks.
they haven't sold handguns for years. they claim they have no sporting purpose. fucking faggots.
Enjoy the boycott by your consumers. Enjoy bankruptcy!
The kikes are using mass hysteria to weaponize their agenda. That's all this is.
