I just listened to an interview with the owner of Dick's and I have to say, this man proclaims to be Pro-Constitutional, Pro-American but has given in to the radical anti 2nd Amendment politicians who want to ban firearms.
This man is removing firearms from his stores all across our country thinking that he is going to make a difference in violent crimes in America.
He has Never been further from the truth about this subject and is acting like COWARD! The only thing he is doing is inflicting damage on his chain as Country Loving Legal Law Abiding Citizens are NOT taking kindly to his arrogant Stupidity. I, for one, will NEVER shop in his stores again, I will NEVER step foot inside of his stores again for any reason! I will do without if his stores are the only ones in America who would stock whatever I could need! It is NOT worth it to me to patronize an Anti-American outfit who are nothing but COWARDS!
Criminals and the mentally unstable are the ones who are committing such violent crimes and they represent less than 3 percent of our entire nation but yet, this man thinks the way the anti-2nd Amendment people think, that firearms, RIFLES are "Assault style weapons" which has NEVER BEEN FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH! The are SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLES ONLY but look frightening to the uneducated so therefore, the uneducated classify them as "Assault Weapons" when in reality, they know absolutely NOTHING about firearms classifications! They know NOTHING about what it takes to qualify a firearm as an "Assault Weapon" nor do they understand that ANYTHING ON THIS PLANET that is used as such is an "Assault Weapon", PERIOD! More people are killed with various artifacts Other than firearms but yet, firearms are the focus of attention as we know very well what this is all about which is the left's reasons for disarming ALL LEGAL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS! If they would exert as much time getting the criminals off our streets, out of our communities, violent crimes would virtually disappear overnight due to the pressures being imposed upon the criminal element, and, criminals would finally come to the realization that we have had enough of their activities and will NOT put up with any more of them!
The owner of Dick's is falling into lockstep with such criminals by denying access to firearms causing customers to do their shopping elsewhere. So far, Dick's has lost a quarter of a million dollars nearly overnight for his decision and stands to lose a great deal more! In the end, I sincerely hopes that he loses so much that it literally puts him out of business! We do NOT need Cowards in our country trying to effect more anti-Constitutional actions in our government, especially those who want to trash our Constitutional Rights!
So, to Dick's Sporting chain and focusing on it's owner, GFY!
