Dicks another one on the list they are subcumbing to the anti/libs which can not discern the social, legal, immoral, lack of judiciary , lack of enforcement to deter the sociopaths and the mentally challenged from the cowardly expression of mass murder. Shootings in school remains a deplorable act and they preach see something say something and what do they do when it is put out there. They tuck their tails and duck their heads because they may offend someone by investigating or acting preventative.
This morning it is reported a 4 time convicted felon kills a cop. Who and what is to blame ?when do the rest of us get pissssed off enough to protest the politically weak we send to authorities and judiciary? Button down and enforce our current laws and make the punishments so hard it would scare my dead grandfather and we might get somewhere. If this offends you good.

They pulled something like this once before. In my old age I've forgotten the details but I have not set foot in their Green Bay Store ever since. I'm not even sure it's still there. It is telling that the CEO of a gun retailer is not a member of the NRA. I'll bet his father is spinning in his grave.

I also stopped spending money there after they showed their colors back in 2012. Bunch bed wetting liberals. I like how the CEO or whatever talked about how they supported the 2nd Amendment. Right.....

Have not stepped foot in the Dicks sporting store in my old hometown of Wausau, WI. This just reaffirms as to the reason why! Soon to follow

The government, law enforcement, the judiciary, the media just will not take responsibility for nurturing and fertilizing and being the enablers of these acts by people on people. They are blinded by blaming an object. They won’t ever stop GM, Ford, Toyota etc.. from making and selling autos that kill thousands or Apple, Nokia , Motorola etc... as texting and driving kills thousands. How can society be so blatantly ignorant? Someone explain to me please?

Dick's is appropriately named for sure. Field and Stream and Golf Galaxy are the same ownership as Dick's.

Support your local sporting goods stores that are not in business to be politically correct!

Never been a fan.

20ish or so years ago when they opened in Racine it seemed to focus mainly on golf, fishing and "glamping" with the prices to match their target demographic.

I did impulse buy my 20 gauge there when stopped in to buy a football once though...

What is really going to screw Dick's is that the Field and Stream stores are Dick's subsidiary. We have a Field and Stream store in Erie that I go to all the time. Last time I was there, they had a lot of AR style rifles and accessories. I wonder if Dick's is going to try and appease both sides by not selling AR's at the Dick's stores and continue to sell ARs at Field and Stream?

Dick's will stay open whether they sell guns or not. Most of their business comes from selling sporting goods to soccer moms for their kids. Every time I buy ammo there I am usually the only one there, and they usually have what I need in stock.

WHOA slow down !! So you guys don't believe in the constitution !!!! Our Vets fought and died for the right to choose!!!!!!. They didn't say they are not going to sale guns , any number of which you have the right to bear and protect yourself.

Don't be a hypocrite !!!! You want your rights but they don't have the right to pick what guns they sale....

So NONE of you guys ever go into Walmart. ?????? How about a gun shop that doesn't have any AR's . Do you walk in and ask "you got any Ar's" . But then walk out if they say no ...

But dick's is too high on most guns . BUT they do have some great clearance prices. If they are going to stop selling them they will be clearanced for less than half.

Still there off 172 and 41

They have deals from time to time. Good coupons too.

Good for them for taking a stand.
