The NRA is sinking.

[Dribble]

Number of Dick's Sporting Goods....700+

Number of Cabela's...82

Botany Boy is smoking too much of that Humboldt weed again

But more importantly...Dick's is not going to sell any more high capacity magazines. Sure...Dick's will lose a small number of customers. But they just doubled their customer base by taking the correct action. They will now be known as a leader.

See...even though Dick's sold a shotgun to the murderer...a gun that wasn't used....they know they probably sold magazines that were used in the murder. And when the owner looks at that...that he profited from the murder of 17...well, the decision was made. Never again will Dick's be caught in this controversy. And change keeps happening...

Amazon is reconsidering bringing their second headquarters to Atlanta...because of the conduct of Georgia legislators to Delta (a company that chose not to be affiliated with the NRA). That's some serious money they will be losing. But alas...Georgia don't need either...they have the support of the NRA members...

Dick's is stupid. They, like the NFL, are virtue signaling to those who don't want to be consumers of their product(s), just so the SJW bots won't come after them next.

^^^^proof Dick's made the right call. Mr. Knee calls them stupid. End of story there.

70% of Americans want rational control of weapons of war. Dick’s knows that. They are smart and will be around and profitable for many years to come.

 

[WoundedKnee]

Then why are you guys focusing on a weapon that is not a weapon of war?

 

[Adre]

It sure seemed like war to the 17 who died in FL. And the 50 who died in NV. And the ones in CT. And the ones in VA. And the ones in CO.

Yes, they are. It will cost them business. Like when the Democrats pissed on the white blue-collar deplorables in the last election. There are choices: BassPro, Cabala's, and Academy are just a few of the larger ones. I can order a lower for an AR15 online, pick it up from a licensed gun dealer after passing the background check, and then go crazy on the internet ordering the upper, the stock, the scope, etc., but it is still only a civilian rifle that is only semi-automatic. Dick's is telling it's natural base of support to go take a hike. They will.

 

[Adre]

You do realize that the hundreds of Dicks stores have not been selling that rifle anyway, right? Why would they give a shit about that customer?

No, it didn't. It seemed like a terrorist attack. Like the guy who shot up Pulse or the gun-free zone at Fort Hood. There is no such fucking thing as an assault rifle and trying to shift the definition to weapon of war isn't going to get much more traction with people who know about weapons. What we had in Broward County was a total failure of the system that should have been protecting children, but instead pursued Federal funding and SJW goals first by ignoring that element most at danger among them for "shooting for celebrity" after issuing pleas for help in the form of anti-social behavior. It wasn't the weapon, it was the mindset that made this incident not only possible, but probable.

^^^ Free market economy.

If the customers don't like it, they can shop elsewhere. If the people don't like it, they can live elsewhere.

If you don't like the shit you're watching, you can change the channel or turn it off.

Isn't that the ultimate catchall excuse for everything that y'all keep bitching about?

And Cabela’s still rejoices along with all of Dicks competition because they will now sell more as they now have a shot at capturing part of a suddenly larger share of the market Dicks just gave away.

Maybe you should smoke some too so you can see through all your hate and observe the basic economic realities unfolding in front of you more objectively.

Not the point, and I hope you;re smart enough to understand the difference between business practice and virtue-signalling as a form of protection from the SJW crowd.

 

[Adre]

Not to mention that Dicks may well get hundreds of thousands of new customers who admire the fact that they put principle over profit. Something that we see precious little of these days.

Those people are not into sports. They look down upon all competition and conflict (other than political, which includes non-gun violence and hatred of cops).

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you what a stupid generalization that is.

 

[WoundedKnee]

You do know that whenever it could, even in states with unions, Dick's did everything it could to build their stores without using the unions?

 

[WoundedKnee]

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you what a stupid generalization that is.

No, you don't. You seem to be the master of that medium.

What demographic is it that Dick's is going to pick up from this move??

Uh, so?

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

There has been a concerned effort from anti-gun folks to demand that businesses divest from the gun industry.

This isn't an example of the NRA sinking, it's an example of anti-gunners trying to engage in sanctions.

I already don't use paypal because of their anti-gun stances, I have no problem not using Enterprise either.

I'm sure they're in shock - "Oh no! We're doomed."

Go on to the social medium of your choice and find out. It’s already out there.

 

[WoundedKnee]

I just find your contention that Dick's will get more new customers than it will lose old customers is loony on the face of it? Who, what group, was not shopping at Dick's because it had AR15s (vs being anti-union). What is going to motivate them to rush out to Dick's when it does not service their cultural lifestyle and who will stop going to Dick's because it rejected their cultural lifestyle? I'll bet heavily that there are more of the latter than the former.

Gun maker stocks are falling, while Dick's goes up.

Prove it or you're just pulling shit out of your ass to be contentious and support a political position over a business decision.

You do know that whenever it could, an errant asteroid could simply obliterate all oxygen-centric life on this planet as we know it?
