Knee jerking flip-flopping Dick's Sporting Goods.

[Gman]

L.L. Bean just jumped on the no rifles for anyone under 21 bandwagon.

Anyone need an employee?

Good on him to take a stand.

I live near 2 Jax stores (Lafayette), and my sense is they are just as busy as before the 2013 stupidity, maybe even more so. Not surprising at all, since a lot of Boulderites have moved to east Boulder County (Erie, Lafayette, Louisville) in the last few years because of stupid expensive houses (avg price over $1M now) and insane rents. Even though I used to buy a ton of stuff at Jax, they don't miss me and I don't miss them.

What are we made of?

I haven't set foot in one since their first "ban". Don't miss it, fuck 'em.

This.

Like REI was anywhere near a 2A friendly place.

True but they aren't targeting gun companies, they're targeting outdoor companies tangentially related to firearms companies. Camel Bak and Giro helmets have nothing to do with anything 2A.

Does Dick's flip-flopping make them a floppy Dick?

Dick's Sporting Goods considered stopping all gun sales in early 2018. A shooting at the high school in Parkland, Florida, had killed 17 people. And the company was shocked into action.

"We did have a conversation about that," CEO Ed Stack?told CNN Business?earlier this year. "At the time we felt it was a part of our DNA and we should stay in it. So many people in the country are law-abiding citizens who use firearms to hunt, to use from a recreation standpoint. We didn't think it was right to exit the business completely."

That could be changing. Dick's, one of the country's biggest gun retailers, has been quietly testing the water on whether to pull out entirely from what it calls the "hunt" business, including firearms. An announcement with the results of the test is expected Thursday, when it is set to report quarterly results.

America is again debating gun control after a recent wave of shootings ? including one on August 3 at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas. The debate has drawn new scrutiny on the legal sale of guns.
