I stopped shopping at Dick's (Washington Square (OR)) several years ago. I would go in there to look at what they had in stock and could NEVER get any help. They were always downstairs and I'd be damned if I was going to chase them down! Too many other choices. Stopped going and couldn't care less if they don't make it.

 

[partsed]

I KNEW you would!

So Sussudio me........

If Dick's doesn't sell certain firearms...does that mean that we are being "rooster" blocked...?

Considering what dick's looked like the very few times I've been in? I don't understand how they keep the lights on? There's no customers in there! It's creepy. That's the Hayden Meadows store, only one I've ever been in. Even at Christmas time, there couldn't have been more than a dozen people in there. Do they figure all the anti's in PDX will love them so much for their stance on guns they'll rush to shop there? Didn't seem to make a difference when they stopped selling ARs back in 2012?

I guess if they keep this up they will close the stores, and then the city will be Dickless.

Love the title haha

Hey now... let's curb the talk of boycotting Dicks. It might go viral with undesirable consequence.

As Is... I spend enough time sleeping on the couch after every gun purchase.

Dick's is just another example of a corporation abandoning one tenet of their base business plan in order to appear safe, appealing and sympathetic to what they believe represents a large percentage of the market for their goods.

It's easier and more profitabe to sell a package of safe fishing hooks at 200% profit than to sell 20 rounds of unsafe ammunition at a 50% profit.

WAIT a min didn't DICKS stop selling "Assault Rifles" a couple 3-4 years ago so exactly what would they have in inventory to destroy. I think this is marketing bull just to get some free press.

Yep I just looked these dirt bags said after SANDY HOOK they were going to stop selling Assault style Rifles. That was 6 years ago.

After the so called revelation they would again stop selling Assault Style Rifles there's no less then 30 damn pages of stories on Google about them and their decision.

TOTAL MARKETING BULLPOOP

 

[Captain O]

Winner winner.

Chicken dinner!

 

[Member 5605]

I'm sitting here trying to figure out how they were allowed to sell assault rifles...

 

[P7M13]

I think I'd rather live with the STD...

There are many things I'd rather get swabbed or fail a Wasserman Test before having to do. Going to said "sporting goods" store is not one of them.

Wiener wiener.

Fixed it for ya.

Dick's Sporting Goods to DESTROY their AR-15s
Rifles Removed from Store Shelves will NOT be Returned to Manufacturers

Dick's Sporting Goods took the stance of removing AR-15s from their Field & Stream stores on February 28th following the Parkland shooting. What many consumers wanted to know following this attempt at virtue signaling is what will happen to the firearms?… Well, now we have our answer.

Dick's Sporting Goods has decided they will DESTROY all of their standing inventory of <broken link removed> firearmsand related accessories. Most sane businessmen and businesswomen would consider selling that unmoved inventory back to the original manufacturers or distributors to recoup the cost of all that product. Dick's has decided to forgo that logical idea and just destroy everything.

Sporting Goods and Field & Stream had these statements to make regarding the issue:

We are in the process of destroying all firearms and accessories that are no longer for sale as a result of our February 28th policy change. We are destroying the <broken link removed> in accordance with federal guidelines and regulations.

The process of legally destroying a firearm, per the guidelines of the ATF, is not as easy or simple as one may think. To believe this company is willing to throw away and destroy that much product and would be able to competently destroy an AR-15 is a bit of a stretch.

Currently they are combating two different lawsuits over their new age limit on <broken link removed> purchases being raised to the age of 21 years old.

This is the second time Dick's Sporting Goods has made an effort to "virtue signal" after a national tragedy. Back in 2012 they removed AR-15s from their store shelves, but those firearms were removed with no mention as to what happened to them.

The Pittsburgh-Post Gazette gathered these remarks as they were the news source that originally spoke with the spokeswoman from Dick's Sporting Goods and Field & Stream:

The so-called assault-style rifles will be destroyed at the company's distribution centers and the parts sent to a salvage company to be recycled, the Findlay-based retailer added. The company did not say how much merchandise would be included.

For now, we will wait to see if they actually destroy those <broken link removed> from more than 35 Field & Streamstores.
