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

[undertherqadar]

LOL it's all coming to an end for the nra and their rank and file loons


Dick's Sporting Goods, the nation's largest sporting goods retailer, will stop selling assault-style weapons like the one used in the Parkland, Florida, high school shooting.
The company said it will also raise the minimum age for all gun sales to 21. Dick's (DKS) will not sell high-capacity magazines that allow shooters to fire far more rounds than traditional weapons without reloading, as well as other accessories used with weapons similar to the AR-15.

Someone should inform them that they didn't sell 'assault type' rifles before.

So, they would say they are operating as 'business as usual'.

That bit is explained in the article, which apparently you didn’t read.

You understand that there is no such thing as "assault style' rifles, right?

You understand that you are a lying son of a bitch? Any rifle that can be fired 30 times in under ten seconds is an assault rifle. And should not be sold to the general public. As has been proven in Vegas, Texas, and now Florida, lethal when a crazy gets their hands on it. And in the meantime, the NRA defends arming people with mental problems.

[WillowTree]

They will lose a lot of business.

Shop wherever you want. It's a free country.

I wonder if they are the idiots who sold to this poor unfortunate mentally ill kid!

You're a lying ****.

An assault weapon is a fully automatic weapon.

Fucking moron.

Some people don't learn from others' mistakes.

"The Sports Authority" did the same thing. Where are they now? Gone.

Gun stocks slammed as companies and funds distance themselves from industry

Sturm, Ruger & Co. Inc. shares RGR, -5.53% fell as much as 4 % early in the day, before recovering to trade slightly higher. Shares of American Outdoor Brands Corp.AOBC, -4.22% , the parent of Smith & Wesson, fell 6% and are now down 48% in the last 12 months.

Playing the "That Isn't What You Call It" game is getting old. Everyone knows what we're talking about. I agree we need a word that describes it more accurately than "weapons of mass destruction," but until that happens, you might do better addressing the actual issue rather than playing semantics games that won't get you anywhere.

if Dick's is still selling semi-auto rifles and handguns, just not ones with "sceeeerry" parts, you can still get them there.

And where in the 2nd does it put a round limit on the rifle one can buy?

Of course your goal is really the complete ban on private gun ownership, so trusting anything you say would be like trusting PETA to host a whole pig BBQ.

Don't you have a thermometer to be afraid of somewhere?

I buy most of my stuff online from Palmetto State Armory.
80% lowers from various online stores.

Your side can't say "ban semi-auto weapons" because you know it will never happen. so you make up soooper sceeery words for them, and hope you fool enough people to get legislation passed.

The Democratic control proposal would ban all semi-autos, even handguns.

BUT BUT BUT I THOUGHT THE DEMS WEREN'T GOING TO BAN GUNS!!!

either you are all liars, all idiots, or somewhere in between.

Do they really? EVERY gun control idiot I've seen on the media had /zero/ clue what any of this shit means. They say crap like "scary big gun" and "military grade" and when you tell them that like 99% of the guns out there in America today are semi-automatic, or that fully automatic guns have been banned for ages, or that there is no such thing as an "assault weapon" - they're clueless.

Fuck even NBC can't figure out the difference;
Michael Keyes on Twitter

And yet, we're expected to believe that these same dumbasses are "only" going after the "assault rifles" oh wait no the "machine guns" wait no the "AR-15"

Shall we take a guess at how many dumbasses, who ya'll think should be dictating policy and taking away American rights, believe that the AR stands for "Assault Rifle"?

Never heard of ‘em.

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.

I quite like Mr. Stack.

Someone under 21 should sue their ass right away.

For what? Not selling something they no longer want to sell? Oh....is this what the RW wants? To force businesses to sell certain stuff?
