Closing stores in the booming DFW Texas sports nuts crazy area is usually not a good sign.

If the senate does nothing, the people will solve the gun problem!
"the people will solve the gun problem!" define what you mean by "gun problem".

Dick Sporting Goods only got rid of more than 5 million potential customers that already decided not to buy at their store, so the stores would be sitting with guns that would not sell.

No serious pro gun person would go there and buy a gun. Why would you buy a gun at a sports store that can’t even sell a decent gym equipment without the equipment being damaged.

Their stock can barely hold 40. Unless you bought a year ago you are still losing money. And you aren't making much if you did buy a year ago.


But... your "feelers".

Ha. Good for them. You know was it ms Winchester that went nuts and built a house with doors to nowhere? Retail for the most part destroys its merchandise. I used to get mad because folks in the world could use clothes and shoes. Sometimes they sell the mdse. To a shred company to make rags. A few do ship basic like socks - but never brand name anything. And if you don’t want to shop there - good - I think hoarding of weapons is a mental problem.

Well, this has zero to do with the guns.....and perhaps you are correct.

They will be hurt, if at all, by Amazon and the likes of the adventure stores (LL Bean doesn't sell guns either?) and other things, but that is the Market, not the gun decisions.

I think if gun nuts too the right attitude they would look at it like a shop that didn't want to sell vape products. They are legal but maybe the owner of the shop knew many people who were addicted???

Dicks is not anti-gun. They are "anti" the crazy overkill that the USA has displayed in it's immaturity toward them and so decided that "one more gun outlet" is not needed....a fine stance IMHO.

Academy is killing them anyway. Guns and ammo are much cheaper there and ammo has free shipping.
