Title: Dick's Destroys Firearms

Seems as though businesses are no longer behaving like businesses anymore.

They should stick to making decisions based on $ rather than politics. As a shareholder, I would be pissed off with management for wasting assets rather than mitigating against loss by selling off the stock that they no longer wish to carry rather than destroying it.

Maybe that's why its stock hasn't been doing so well lately.

run up in .22 cal ammo cost occurred Dicks was at the lead of the pack, of price
increases.
They won't be missed.

Post by: Flapp_Jackson on May 09, 2018, 12:33:53 PM: I've seen stories on Springfield Armory and now Mossberg canceling all sales to Dick's.

I hope all other gun makers follow that trend. It'll save the chain from their hypocrisy of banning sales of one type of rifle while still selling other firearms.
