Dick’s Sporting Goods to Remove Guns From 125 Stores
Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. said Tuesday it will stop selling firearms at 125 of its stores, further pulling back from the business after the retailer decided last year to tighten its policies around gun sales.

Why would a sporting goods store be selling war machines in the first place?

Because shooting them is a fun sport. I hope they go out of business.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

They are intent on failing aren't they?

Have to offer what customers want. Hopefully for Dick's sake they have enough other business to offset the lost gun sales. Personally I've thought of Dick's Sporting Goods as geared more towards team sports while Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's was a place for the hunter and fisherman.

A couple of months ago there was news of one independent sporting goods shop going out of business that after 20+ made a strategic error in dropping Nike goods over the Kaepernick controversy. I never thought of Nike as that powerful, but then I associate Nike more in terms of fashion rather than actual sporting goods. Colorado store that quit selling Nike products over Kaepernick ad goes out of business

You can’t buy a gun on Amazon. Smart marketing would dictate that you would want to sale a popular product like guns, which isn’t sold by your major competitor.

This decision might lead to bankruptcy.

I submit that if a "Sporting goods" store must lose its business because it stops selling guns, then the community that had kept it in business is already bankrupt.

Uh huh.

What's a "sporting rifle"? You shoot and try to outrun the bullet? Or is it like jumping hurdles? How do you keep score?

Yyyyyyeahh ummm.... a store chain deciding what it will or won't sell is not "keeping everyone else from" anything.

Nope, and I've never been inside a Dick's. You?

Actually none of us know what Dick's reasoning was, so that's a misfire.
