Bass Pro buys Sportsman's Warehouse

[Martinjmpr]

Prior to this acquisition, if SW caved to the pressure of the anti-gunners and decided to quit carrying handguns or evil black rifles or anything associated (like so many of the larger branded stores have done), we'd still have the option to find them at Cabela's or BPS.

If there's demand for handguns or EBRs and BPS stops carrying them, someone else will step up and fill that market niche.

I mean, people bought handguns and EBRs BEFORE there was a BPS or a SW, right?

If anything, BPS dropping EBRs or handguns would be a boost to the LGS's.

But honestly, that's unlikely to happen because if BPS, Cabelas and SW decide to cut handguns and EBRs, then they basically become Sports Authority or Dicks.

Well if they pull guns, they'd definitely be Dicks.
