As an avid hunter and Dick's customer, I just love to say that you phony hunters and NRA tools, who worship assault rifles and predicted Dicks demise. Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Dick's soaring sales prove it can succeed without assault rifles
Back in February, Dick's Sporting Goods made a bold decision to stop selling assault style rifles and high capacity magazines, and to raise the minimum age to purchase a gun to 21.
Executives there braced for pain. Instead they got good news.
Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) stock price surged by as much as 27% after it reported stronger than expected quarterly sales and profit Wednesday.
It's the first measure of their decision to pull away from some guns.
"There's been a number of people who have started shopping us, or said they're going to shop us more, because of the policy," said Chief Executive Officer Ed Stack on an earnings call with analysts Wednesday. "There's definitely been some benefit of people who joined us, so to speak, because of the policy."
Stack said on the call that the company has raised its full year 2018 guidance to a range of $2.92 to $3.12 earnings per share, from a previously announced range of $2.80 to $3.

You nut jobs don't represent the majority. You are suckers for the NRA, that used to be a top notch organization (I once belonged) but has turned out to be a marketing tool for the gun industry and lobbyist for gun insanity.
