MAGA: Dick's CEO says company destroyed $5M worth of assault rifles. Wanting to make streets safer!

[Rustic]

The CEO of Dick’s Sporting Goods says that after the company made the decision to no longer sell assault-style rifles, more than $5 million worth of the weapons were destroyed.



"I said, 'You know what? If we really think these things should be off the street, we need to destroy them,'" Stack said, adding that the company turned $5 million worth of the weapons into scrap metal.

There are better greater profits after dumping Assult weapons. Not supporting NRA Gun Nutters getting arms to the mass shooting, to sell more guns as kids die for the fears they have in their mentally weak minds.

So, please shop at a true MAGA Store in support.

There is not a single assault weapon in the photo. They did NOT destroy $5 million dollars in assault weapons. They did not sell assault weapons, they have never sold assault weapons. They had no assault weapons.

If they destroyed some merchandise, all they have done is make themselves poorer.

That is what happens when you're Dicks.

You people are so ridiculous.

So they didn't use the term semi automatic weapon. Big deal.

They destroyed 5 milion dollars worth of weapons that have no business being in civilian hands. That's a very good thing as far as most Americans are concerned.

If you're one of those who need a penis extender find a different object to do it.

Better yet, get psychological help. Only those who are in the military need a weapon like that.

The AR-15 isn't used by any military on the planet, but don't let fact slow you down.

Weak DOPer SPEW. Deflecting again.

Lol
ARs are just sporting rifles, nothing more nothing less...

 

[Rustic]

I'll take my bolt action over any semi auto any day of the week...in any situation.

Lol
That is your prerogative, don’t expect anyone else to have the same view you fucking moron

They have every business being in civilian's hands.

No they don't. And you're in the minority on that one.

The bottom line is that company can do whatever they want with the inventory they own. They bought those weapons. They own those weapons and can do whatever they want with them. You can't do one thing about it.

You know what they're going to do with that 5 million they destroyed? They are going to write it off on their taxes as a loss so in the end, you and all other taxpayers will pay for it. It's classified as a business expense but I wouldn't expect you to understand accounting.

So if you pay taxes you're paying for those weapons to be destroyed. LOL.

Deal with it.

Over 200 million people agree with me and I am in the minority?

That is an incredible statement.

Of course, they can do whatever they wish with their property. What they cannot do is lie about it. They lied to the public about destroying $5 million dollars in assult weapons. They did not do that at all.

BTW, they do. In fact, the citizens have a right to have those weapons in their hands.

When I read a lie I stop reading. So I stopped reading at your first sentence.

You're going to have to provide credible proof of your claim before I believe that.

I just read a USA Today poll that 65% of people want weapons like AR 15 to be banned.

Lol
It’s not up to politically correct fuck ups like yourself to say, so shut the fuck up you fucking moron

 

[Rustic]

Gratuitously destroying five million dollars worth of valuable company property is an act of malfeasance. This mute donkey ought to be fired, and possibly criminally charged.

I'd like to see the physical proof of this . As it is they'll probably get a write off under some extended Obama edict when they ,in effect , never had the inventory . I hope we have someone not related to Lois Lerner auditing their books at the IRS .

They will write it off but Obama has nothing to do with it.

It's a tax reform from the Reagan years. Anything that's a business expense is deductible. This is part of operating expenses. Totally deductible, Obama had nothing to do with it and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

So you're paying for those weapons to be destroyed. That is if you pay federal taxes. If it's done in a state that has a state income tax, they will deduct it from their state income taxes too.

And there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.

Yeah, kind of like Trump writing off a billion dollars in loses in 9 years, and carrying the loss forward for the next decade, in which he paid no taxes.

Lol
Who gives two shits it’s none of yours or my business you fucking moron

 

[Rustic]

You dumbass leftists do realize that when these corporate feel-gooders do this shit, they're just giving more opportunity to the local mom & pop gun stores - right?

By all means, continue! I hope every single big-box store stops selling all guns and ammo. The markets they will open up to small-time entrepreneurs will be phenomenal.

Sat, we don't expect you to understand this, because lack of compassion is the defining characteristic of Republicans. Dick destroyed the guns because he did not want a mass murderer to have used one of his guns. It was a matter of conscience.

Lol
Lawnmowers kill more people than people using AR15’s in violent crime you fucking moron

Uh huh. Let me know when Ford starts destroying cars to stop drunk drivers over "matters of conscience".

Your tired old cars=guns clichés really needs a rest.

Lol
No one has a right to vehicle ownership, the same cannot be said about firearm ownership... Every law abiding citizen has an absolute right to it. So shut the fuck up you meddling little weasel

The CEO of Dick’s Sporting Goods says that after the company made the decision to no longer sell assault-style rifles, more than $5 million worth of the weapons were destroyed.

In an interview with CBS News that aired Sunday, Ed Stack said following the decision last year to stop offering assault-style rifles, the question of what to with the remaining inventory lingered.

"I said, 'You know what? If we really think these things should be off the street, we need to destroy them,'" Stack said, adding that the company turned $5 million worth of the weapons into scrap metal.

Company's destroy merchandise all the time to save company reputation.

Burberry says it won’t destroy unsold merch anymore. But plenty of other fashion brands still do.
An expert explains why Burberry, H&M, Nike, and Urban Outfitters destroy unsold merch — and what it says about consumer culture.

Destroying these guns. Makes sure 100% NRA crazy Gun Nutter's terrorists don't sell them to NRA Sponsored mass shooter members. It safer legally and cost-wise to destroy them under there control.

Liberals are lacking logic. If Dick's wanted to make a statement, they would have donated the firearms to state militias, police departments, etc. instead of destroying them.

Ditto for other products. I see stores throw away food, clothes, and other valuable items while the poor and elderly have to choose between eating buying their medicine.

The mentality of the liberals is that liberalism is a mental disorder.

Most state militias are mentally weak fearful moron loser Gun Nutter's in smelly man cave clubs. The worst in American NRA Gun Nutters. As we have a standing army, FFS! What mental gun Mastrubating Losers they are.
They can't beat them with what they can buy, and the drones will take them out. They are sick mentally and need mental therapy help.
Police departments are fully armed now. And should be reduced in arms as over-armed.

Not providing Assult guns to the public is the best thing Real Rational Americans can do.
It a PUBLIC safety issue.
Today's public needs no more than Simple revolvers, single-shot rifles or pump shotguns.
Let the Nutters play weak-minded Video games to use more powerful guns. Or join the army
and play in restricted areas. Where assault weapons stay. As the army folks can take you out if you leave with these guns.

The federal government would never use the military on its own people, that’s not the way it works you fucking retard.
They would have to use the UN… Talk about a bunch of cluster fucks. Lol

Actually the military HAS toyed with the idea of using troops against its own citizenry. It's one of the things that made Alex Jones famous. Back in the late 1990s, Jones filmed the military doing joint military exercises with foreign troops on U.S. soil. The exercise was house to house search and seizure / weapons confiscations exercises. Google his video POLICE STATE 2000.

On 29 May 1994 a survey was conducted at 29 Palms Naval Base in California. Here is the survey:

The 29 Palms Survey

Check out questions 45 and 46.

A lot of people still believe that the unprovoked attack on Mount Carmel in Waco along with the seige at Ruby Ridge were dry runs to see how the public would react to targeting unpopular people to kill them and deprive them of Due Process.

You're a fucking troll that cannot be taken for real. FWIW, one single militia in Georgia had as it founding members a retired Lt. Col. from the Army who was the first American captured in the Korean Conflict who was beaten, tortured,sentenced to death and managed to escape. A county historian was a founding member as was an attorney, an ex Army Ranger, two ministers, and two local activists / elected officials.

Their training program was initiated by a former Green Beret and CIA operative... and that guy was the most decorated soldier of the Vietnam era.

One thing about your posts is that they are troll posts and you can tell you've never been to a militia meeting. Neither are you qualified to determine the value of the life of another human being or the needs of other people. Now, had my neighbor been limited to your ideas, she would be dead:

Video shows woman shooting at invaders during Gwinnett home invasion

You don't understand the concept of unalienable Rights; don't know shit about the Right to keep and bear Arms; have no experience with firearms and are, in general, a low IQ troll that needs to go out and get a life.

It's funny you should bring that up. I went to a local coffee house (Waffle House) one morning with a militia officer who called himself Troll. We were there to meet with a potential member.

Troll took two large paper sacks out of his truck, placing them on the floor of my car in front of him. He carried those bags into the Waffle House, sitting them on the floor beside himself.

The potential member asked us if we were going to try and convince him that black helicopters were flying the skies. I didn't know what to say exactly and Troll immediately said, glad you brought that up. He went into the bags, retrieving photo albums with pictures of black helicopters. He then pointed to some of the figures in the early pictures and said "that's me there." After a few pictures, Troll's face was crystal clear. He was in an unmarked, black helicopter, sporting a 50 caliber belt fed mounted inside it.

Troll kept flipping pages and showed us his jump record and the awards he had received. So, yeah, a former Army Ranger convinced me.

It was a stupid idea, financially speaking to destroy firearms. But, you can't fix stupid. Now you want to derail the thread because someone disagrees with you and can back up what they say. Sounds like you have some issues above my pay grade. Have you contacted Dr. Phil?

Dick's burns up $250M on its Anti-Gun Jihad:

The CEO of Dick's Sporting Goods told CBS News this weekend that his decisions to stop selling certain guns and hire lobbyists to push for new gun bans have cost his company roughly $250 million.

CBS Sunday Morning host Lee Cowan asked Dick's CEO Ed Stack how much his company lost after the retailer decided to stop selling firearms to anyone under the age of 21.

"About a quarter of a billion," Stack replied. "Pretty close."
