Springfield Armory to Dicks Sporting Goods

The step I'm still waiting for is for a major manufacturer to refuse to sell firearms to LEOs in a restrictive state.

If enough get on board, THAT would be a game changer.

I thought Barrett already did that in California.

Federal government will buy them and give it to the states.

I was just about to say that. I think they won't service or offer tech support to California LEO

Yep, cut off sales & support for the .50 BMG rifles made illegal for anyone but law enforcement in CA. Was an awesome move from Ronnie Barrett.

Well played

I'm just old. I was using "#Sand" before hashtagging was a thing.

Wasn't SA on the shit list a few months ago for being in bed with the gun grabbers?

Kinda of. They gave money to the Illinois FireArms Manufacturers Association which caved in a bad bill that exempted manufacturers from huge new licensing fees that would kill dealers. Once they (Springfield) were made aware of it they pulled out and fought the impending legislation. The IFMA are scumbags that took Springfield's money and donated it to anti-gun Democrat's election funds.

Illinois politics.

It's not going to stop me from buying an EMP 4" Concealed Contour.

Dicks is just trying to gain all the free advertising they can to become REI and sell overpriced hipster crap and tactical hiking sticks. I doubt firearm sales have even been a fraction of a percent of profit, and who actually goes to them for ammo or anything else. Dicks has gone home to roost and decided their most profitable customer base are actual, entitled, liberal dicks.

And they might not be wrong.

If they lose a small percentage of business but gain the loyal business of SJW, it may be profitable. Of course, they forget that many are SJW in part because they are unemployable/underemployed and want free shit.

If you ever run for anything, I'd walk neighborhoods with the clipboard for you.

Hornady just told New York to go micturate on themselves. Good for them. New York sucks be it their sports teams, their government, or their laws.

Hopefully other manufacturers will do the same.

So I was reading the Dick's annual report to find what percentage firearms is their business. While I didn't find that answer, here is an interesting tidbit.
