Value and fair price is determined by the individual purchasing the goods. If its worth their money,  they will buy it, or shop somewhere else if they don't.

You keep projecting your personal opinions and ideas  with regards to how things should be or what should be sold or how much things should cost, when it should be the company and individuals making the purchase who make that determination. I honestly don't care that you are butthurt that Dicks doesnt sell the firearms you want them to sell or prices aren't what you think they should be, because myself and others will make that determination ourselves, and if we feel its worth it, we'll spend our money there.

So rather than continuously blow up this thread with negativity about Dick's and how much you don't like them, simply don't shop there and point individuals towards better companies when they inquire for them.

Saying I'm butthurt is just plain immature man.  Come on dude.  I'm not butt hurt.  All the guns I buy nowadays have been banned since May 19th, 1986, and I buy pallets of ammo at a time from SGAmmo, so Dick's practices don't affect me at all.  I'm just trying to inform others.  We are on the same side here are we not?

My first statement in this thread was that I don't understand why people support them.  Is that not ok to say here?  I only started typing more in detail as the thread continued.  I'm also trying to inform people of their practices incase they don't know and have never shopped at a Dicks.  As a supposed supporter of the 2A to the fullest, why would you choose support them? 

I'm not telling you to do anything.  Do as you please, but I'm just asking people to not give them business, and explaining why incase they do not know the companies shitty history.  If you honestly don't care about supporting companies that have bailed on the 2nd amendment several times, raped customers during panics, cancelled existing orders once panics happened only to raise the prices and resist the items, have supported anti gun legislation, etc, then have at it.  I guess you can have pretty and large storefront to walk into to?  Neat.  Seems clueless to me to support them, but have at it.  That easy going mentality is why this state's gun laws are as shitty as they are as it is and will only to continue to get worse.

No hard feelings.  Just my thoughts.  Agree with them or not, what I state that they have done in the past is true, and others here can freely decide to do what they want.  Take care.

The intent of starting this thread was to inform other 2A folks that a blatantly anti-gun company is opening up here.
It occurred to me that many people here might not be familiar with the recent news regarding Dicks corporate actions.

I'm well versed with the situation regarding Dick's.

Using your logic,  it would be impossible to shop anywhere here in Hawaii, being that +90% of vendors and retailers that aren't gunshops are anti-2a.

Foodland
Safeway
Times
Whole foods
Down to eartg
Longs/CVS
Wal-Mart
Target
Costco
Sams

These are just a few cmpanies that have demonstrated anti-2a sentiment locally or nationally. Are you telling me you don't shop at any of these retailers, or other retailers that aren't listed?

A principle or ideology needs to apply universally, or it is simply hypocrisy. If You say not to shop at Dick's because they are anti-2a and 2a issues are important to you, yet readily shop at another vendor who is anti-2a, then it becomes contradictory,  and your opinion becomes irrelevant.

Did any of the above stores hire lobbyists to go to congress to push anti gun laws?

If any of them did I would like to know.

Like you said ".....that aren't gunshops".

Why are we even comparing Dicks to Walmart?  LOL.  Jesus.  Are you just trying to argue to argue?  The difference between those places and Dicks is that Dicks pretends to be an outdoors and GUN AND AMMO store.  The others sell food and clothes.  Also the others haven't screwed over dedicated 2A customers when there are gun panics.  Their own freaking loyal customers dude!  How does this not bother you.

Clearly you are happy that a big pretty and flashy "gun" store is coming to Hawaii.  I guess, cool?  Yippie?  Go enjoy it.  Good for you man.  It's not really that great after you walk in once or twice, and they bone their customers, but whatever, go enjoy it.  I'm happy for you.  I hope that one day I can be as excited as you about a place opening, and there will be a surplus machine gun and tank store down the street from me either in Hawaii or Texas, but I think I may be waiting longer.   :(

There is a difference between anti-gun and being anti-gun but in the industry.

Dicks once sold AR's, but chose to stop due to political pressure (MDS shooting).  That's the difference.  If they decided on their own to stop or what ever, then it wouldn't be as bad.

But Dicks bowed down to Hogg and his lemmings.  Timing is the key.  Like when Yetti decided to stop their NRA affiliation.  They claim it was thought about for a while now, but the timing was bad for them to announce it.

My Pillow never bowed down.  I actually am going to buy a $60 pillow just to show him my support.

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. The My Pillow is great! And it is washable and dryable. Had mine for a year now. I had to pay some shipping though.

Rained about 5:30 then stayed nice the rest of the morning. Drank too much coffee and ate too many donuts. My doctor won’t be happy with me. Shot my 1925 pump action .22 take down and my K31. Also shot a couple of double rifles. Overall a good day.  :thumbsup:

Sooooo if Dick’s sells bullet heads that are branded by them or not, then would they be Dick heads? Would people who shop at Dicks be considered dick heads?  :wacko: :crazy: :wave:
