Got plenty of local competitors in my area who will get my business.

So just ignore the constitution. It's just a GD piece of paper anyway (to paraphrase GW Bush.)
Any guess on who Edward Stack voted for in the 2016 election?
Statist Idiot.

Dear Dick's,
Never mind, I just wrote more but political incorrectness might get me incarcerated or at least put under observation, so again I deleted it before posting it. Come to think of it, is there a “Politically Incorrect” series book on the Second Amendment?

However, one of my concerns; after banning the AR15 and all the look-alike semi-automatics, what models will be banned next. Will you want to take away our AK47’s, Thompson 1927’s, M1’s, M1A’s, all of which are semi-automatic rifles. Or is it only the emotionally scary looking ones? Who will define the emotionally scary rifles or even hand guns? Personally I prefer the AR15 because of the light weight, especially at my age now. In Vietnam, being in the artillery, most of my men got M14’s, I bought an M16, the military assault version of the civilian AR15, because I was only issued and old WWI Colt 1911. The M16 was civilianized to the AR15 by making it a semi-automatic, just like thousands of other semi-automatic rifles. How about an AR16 without a pistol grip, or an AR17 without a barrel shroud, or an AR18 without a flash suppressor, or an AR19 that isn’t black? Will they be banned and what will be banned next?

Why can’t “they” just tell us the truth, that they want to take all our arms away and just delete the second amendment? I propose we ban cars, they kill a lot of people especially the black cars, but I also would think that the WWII Japanese didn’t land here in the US because they were afraid that everyone had a car. Personally I think we should have a right to own weapons equal to our governments, how else will we be able to fight them when things go astray? Some of you might even remember that the American Revolution was a colonial revolt that took place from 1765 and 1783. If the British had been able to keep us unarmed we probably wouldn’t be talking about this issue today, and we might even be speaking English.☺

I've never bought firearms from any big commercial marketer, only from gun dealers. Buying a product from someone who likely doesn't have a clue about it makes no sense. It's like buying a car from Walmart. They don't sell cars, but it's an analogy (Sears used to sell the Allstate, their version of Kaiser's Henry J subcompact).

They can do whatever they want... we'll just go somewhere else. I've never purchased a gun or any ammo at Dick's anyway.

That aside, this is a pure publicity stunt-- if the problem is guns, they'd stop selling guns altogether, but they're not going to. All this is really doing is banning the black version of some of the same guns they still carry, or other cosmetic issues when they still sell guns that can "do the same damage." Completely playing into the lack of knowledge of the extremist "gun control" advocates. Also .. the headlines are portraying it as a new thing, but this little nugget is in the announcement:

"We had already removed them from all DICK’S stores after the Sandy Hook massacre, but we will now remove them from sale at all 35 Field & Stream stores."

Just a big "whatever" to me.

Seems like there are a fair amount of rednecks In the gulch!

Gee how about the Big Pharma, who have been a contributing factor in all the shooters on psychotropic drugs. Geez, do these corpotate types do any research, or just knee jerk reactions and blame guns and NRA! This kids should have had a record and not been able to have a gun. Obma sent the school millions to get them to NOT call police on students, at a school where the arrest rate had been 1,000 per year. So, drugs, contraband brought to school, handled in house. Bullying, vandalism, theft, handled in house. Great, this is how the school system works down there. Looks good on paper, but results in mass shooting. Meanwhile, one officer called to the scene was training people at a Mosque to use firearms to defend themselves, a group with suspected ties to Hamas! It should be noted Columbine was one of the first schools to implement Clinton's Outcome Based Ed., which really was bad, and has left teachers calling themselves "change agents" - for socialism or Marxism.

Yeah, you Dick's, let students tell you what to do.
Students telling people what to do has always worked out.

I am offended at the gun-grabbers calling their proposals "common-sense"; they flatter themselves.
Also, remarks such as "if one life is saved..."and then how many will be taken because the victim couldn't defend himself? And what if one life is saved, but 3 or 4 victims are raped?!--If people want to live in their own fantasy world, that is their own business. But they have no right to violate other people's rights just in order to force them to help prop up their fantasy world.

Eh...I wouldn't buy a gun from Dick's anyway. They are a good source for golf stuff, though!
