Title: Dick's heads-up
Post by: longislandloco on March 20, 2018, 05:44:58 PM
Was at Dick's today.........Mossberg 835 on sale $299.99, MossyOak Shadow grass camo only, but at that price I couldn't resist. I'm not sure how long the sale will last, also the 535 turkey/waterfowl combo was $399.99.

I didn't have my reading glasses on, and I thought the topic title was an insult...

Well that's fine but they turned their back on the second amendment. Did you read the article ?
Gun channels are being banned on YouTube, oh this sight useing that?
That pistol grip ,adjustable position stock looks awfully intimidating on that turkey (riot gun) ?
Is that a semi-auto shot gun?
Please read the article. Lots of rights under attack right now.

Did not shop there before, but I am done with them.  No matter the deal, I would never buy from them now.  Agree with those that posted that.  If you have not, please read the links.  Vote with our wallets!

First let me say that I'm a Proud American who supports the 2nd Amendment. :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an  But that being said I think you are being very harsh on Dick's Sporting Goods choice not to sell certain kinds of rifles. I think we live in a Free country that allows us to follow our conscience whether or not people agree with us. Dick's said they believed in 2nd Amendment Rights. I don't believe the Florida tragedy had anything to do with guns but was one bad person acting out while some other people did nothing. Just my  :z-twocents:
P.S.  Walmart also stopped selling assault weapons. So are we done shopping there too?

All of what you said is, of course, your rights.  I will not shop at a sporting goods store that bows to public "feel good" pressure, just to pander to the other half of their base.  It is their right to sell whatever they want, as it is my right to not shop there.  Like I said, I am voting with my wallet. I don't feel it is harsh, I feel that they are sending a message, meaning they agree that "black guns" are somehow inherently more dangerous than other guns.  The Assault Weapon ban proved this to be untrue (Columbine shooters used 2 sawed off shotguns and 2 pistols).  You are free to feel and shop as you see fit, but as for me and mine, Dick's is out.

And, yes, I rarely shop at Walmart.  I already shop there as little as I possibly can, but this just means I will shop there even less, although I probably will still be stuck and need something at some point.

"Assault weapons"....is this the term they used????? I get so sick of hearing assault weapon this...assault weapon that......assault rifle...BLAH....BLAH.....BLAH.....BLAH...... If I go and stab someone are ALL knives considered assault knives??? Or how about if I drive drunk and run into someone....are we now to refer to them as "ASSAULT CARS"????? I apologize for the rant but i'm getting sick and even more sick of mindless drones referring to AR-15 & M-4 type rifles as  "ASSAULT RIFLES". They are RIFLES......PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yea....CONGRATS ON A GREAT BARGAIN!!!!!

Walmart's actual words was military style semi-automatic rifles. They are also removing any "assult looking" air soft guns or toys. I'm also very sick of them putting all blame on the weapon that was used.
