National Dicks Sporting goods doing more than they first said

[EPS]

I went and bought my neice a softball mit there a year ago I bought a box of six arrows there at the same time other than that nope don't go there

Hahahaha, no, actually I didn't. I think I may have walked into the one in Lakewood, got about 20 feet in, and turned around; it was obvious that they were trying to be something like "camping Nordstroms."

It's their inventory, if they chose to destroy it, so be it. Comes out of their diminishing bottom line.

The CEO inherited his billions from his dad Dick. He didnt work for it. He could drive his company into the ground and still be a billionaire. Sales are not effected when they do this about firearms anyway so it actually does not effect them other than the free advertising the media is doing for them. Funny that he is on a board (Nation Retail Federation) with hundreds of lobbyists and pays off republicans to keep them making money.

So until people are ready to break out the guillotines, these billionaires will keep telling us all how we should live.

This is exactly why you should support your LGS .all these big stores will tuck there tail and run when the SHTF .
BUT WHO'S STILL THERE THE LOCAL GUN SHOP HELL the one up here had Smith and Wesson M and P 15 s on sale after the last shooting THEY WHERE NOT TAKING THEM OFF THE SHELF .
Unless it was to sell it HEHEE

 

[EPS]

I got enough guns but I will buy more .
JUST BECAUSE .F THESE LIBATARDS

Truth be told, the corporate world is permeated with postmodern ideologues, and this is particularly apparent in Human Resources departments. Of course it's not to the extent of universities and government, but supporting liberty isn't considered.

I don't understand this logic at all, glad I am not a stockholder. I would be pretty pissed off if I were. So many other ways of disposing of an unwanted asset.

Dick's destroying all the guns it pulled from its shelves

I'm sure they will get a tax write-off for this which means someone else will have to pick up that tax burden, and with the way things work in DC, that will certainly be those without the millions necessary to buy lobbyists and legislators -- so all of us little guys/regular tax payers.

 

[awshoot]

Let's be honest...Did any of you actually shop at Dick's? Their prices were horrible to begin with. I have not set foot that place since they took over G.I. Joe's.

In my area, they reliably had the best prices on clay pigeons. That was in the Skagit store however and round trip that's 60 minutes and $7 in gas which kills the savings. I once looked in the Bellingham store to see what they had for scopes -- they had maybe four total which is basically the same as having none. Anyway, they don't need me and I don't need them.

I am sure they are hoping to sell a few more soccer balls to all the SJW moms out there.

Well, I did buy some socks from Dick's... and a pair of shoes... but that was a while ago.... Anyway, I do miss Joes!!!

just heard on the radio that Dicks sporting goods announces they are planning to destroy all the guns they had in inventory after pulling them all off the shelves after newtown mass shooting...hope they loose alot of customers at the same time

 

[No_Regerts]

I hope their stock holders are happy.

 

[Diamondback]

Makes me wish I had one share--JUST one token--in my portfolio so I could read Investor Relations the riot act, maybe even bring a lawsuit for breach of fiduciary duty.

 

[justcuz]

Alas, there are two types of attention, positive and negative, both are equally powerful depending of their perspective on the agenda.

Therefore, Dick's customer base will switch from gun fanatics to sport fanatics and life will go on in the naked city.

 

[ma96782]

They are just being a D*^#......as their name says.

Aloha, Mark

 

[cigars]

I think that all of the bums and ramp rats around here should go stake claims in their camping department. How awesome would that be? They're probably a sanctuary store anyway. Send them to Freddy's too.

 

[Dallas Ken]

DANG!! What a great idea.............bums and ramp rats!................luv it.

 

[clearconscience]

I don't get it, your in the business to make money and your throwing away $10s of thousands of dollars?

Plus they said after Newtown they stopped selling "assault rifles" now they are stopping again?

Or are they just advertising they are destroying the guns they don't have?
