Saw this on CNN a few minutes ago:

Dick's Sporting Goods considered stopping all gun sales in early 2018. A shooting at the high school in Parkland, Florida, had killed 17 people. And the company was shocked into action.
"We did have a conversation about that," CEO Ed Stack told CNN Business earlier this year. "At the time we felt it was a part of our DNA and we should stay in it. So many people in the country are law-abiding citizens who use firearms to hunt, to use from a recreation standpoint. We didn't think it was right to exit the business completely."
That could be changing. Dick's, one of the country's biggest gun retailers, has been quietly testing the water on whether to pull out entirely from what it calls the "hunt" business, including firearms. An announcement with the results of the test is expected Thursday, when it is set to report quarterly results.

Tom, thanks but that is old news. We have talked about

what pricks Dick's people are many times on here. The last word we got was they were so far down in revenue and were thinking of bankruptcy. They learned a hard lesson. That being you can't screw gun people and expect to continue to get their business.

They put out a statement today that they were "thinking"

about discontinuing all hunting equipment and the magic word "guns". That got the attention of the Associated Press and garnered them millions, yes millions, of free press! Think about it, some little PR prick figured that all out. It got done, and while it is divisive, it is free publicity that would cost big bucks. Hunters say piss off but the little liberal retards say yeah and go to Dicks to be dicks.
