Dicks destroys $15,000,000 worth of guns

This move has caused Dick's a $250 million dollar loss. Kinda like blowing up your car to protest gas prices. This CEO should have been sent packing by the Board of Directors. It certainly cost a lot of their employees their jobs.

By the way, Dick's still sells guns. They also sell mock AR weapons to children.

Most dicks do not sell guns at all anymore, many of them took down their gun section as they were not selling as most their inventory was fudd guns like over under shotguns and breakbarrel single shot rifles with a few bolt actions, their own inventory long before the stop of ar-15 sales which I had never seen one of their stores sell has been terrible, and out of touch for any hunter under the age of 95.
 
Dicks is making a big deal out of the fact they destroyed 15 million dollars of guns. Gun grabbers will think that is wonderful.

Think about it!!!

Dicks will write ofF the 15 million on their taxes. That means they are screwing the government, and in effect it is costing them NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Idiots, mhe.....

If you go to their web site they have a large selection of firearms. I assume, if you want one you order it on line and they deliver it to a store near you for pickup. You are correct that the majority of these guns seem to be basic lower end weapons that I would not have in my gun safe.

I looked at their web site too and was horrified I tell you horrified. They had a picture of a 22/250 and it had a BARREL SHROUD! A long one. And it had of all things an EVIL pistol grip! Granted it was a bolt action,but a pistol grip was just too much. I mean it like really creeped me out. And like someone else said...A lot of fudd guns.

Many stores though quit seling them in store, I assume it had to do with their gun policy equalling selling guns no one wanted to buy and realizing they were wasting space for something they could sell. I like some of those old fudd guns but they are not big sellers and have not been for decades, they fall into a small market of hunters and it makes sense to sell and offer them but makes no sense to dedicate an entire section of a store to just fudd guns.

n For example academy carries side by side and over under shotguns, and older style wood stock bolt action rifles, they however have a single rack for them in most stores I have seen, and often carry a wide range of guns based off of what sells, and the more it sells the more shelf space it gets. In nearly every academy I have been in the heritage 22lr revolver gets more real estate than anything, simply because they sell, they are cheap and are fun for first time shooters and adults who are long time shooters.

Its their property. Whats funnier is his reason why: because Dicks sold the Parkland shooter a shotgun. Even though he didnt use it. And they still sell shotguns. And handguns, which are used 1000x more than rifles, to murder. So he accomplished nothing.

And he pushed for background checks, which I assume Dicks did, and we know the people who sold the Parkland shooter the ar15 did. So, Dicks accomplished nothing.

And that is why I have not shopped at dicks in many years.

Well that and their comically nonexistent fly fishing selection...

the closest DICKS is right across the street from Cabelas. My son-an avid fisherman doesn't even bother with DICKS. now BPS-15 miles away from Cabelas, has an even better supply. There used to be an Orvis affiliated place about 30 minutes away but I cannot recall if it still is around. I fly fish 2-5 times a year, and I am still using flies my late father had a man tie for him in the 90s.

It's a typically dull mall store.
 
$15,000,000 favor for gun manufacturers. They'll happily make more.
