Dicks to stop selling all guns at 125 stores.

I am not interested in Dicks.

Uh huh.

Where's that post you wrote about your net shirt collection?.....

Who cares....it's been probably 15 years since I went to their stores.

I dont believe him. Prove it. Show us the pile of cut up rifles.

Remember the last time they said they got rid of all the scary black rifles? It was Fast and Furious 2: Electric Boogaloo. They all turned up on the shelves of their subsidiary Field and Stream. I'll bet lunch they were sold off, not simply destroyed.

If it does turn out to be true, if I were a board member I would have his ass out on the street for destroying that much inventory needlessly. Hell, as mentioned earlier, give them away to LEOs so the good guys can have new toys. (and they could possibly take a tax write-off) But dont just destroy perfectly good inventory. Throwing away perfectly good product for no good reason is a horrible business practice. ESPECIALLY since they were hit so hard after their last missteps. Unless he thinks this will somehow redeem him in the eyes of soccer moms everywhere and they will all flock to his stores to throw large bills at them in appreciation.

I agree Cameramonkey if he is so proud of this accomplishment why have we not seen him standing in front of a pile of cut up rifles for a photo op. I think they were sold back to a distributor at a slight loss.

I'll stop in the Lafayette store tomorrow and look. Last few times i've been in there they have had the gun counter blocked with racks and boxes of junk.

And a great cheer erupted from firearms manufacturers across the land!

For nothing that Dick's has done will change demand, except possibly increase it.

There is now a 5 million dollar hole in the national inventory that will need to be filled in the next year.

Good They suck anyway. Just means better business for those who do. His loss not ours. I don't buy from them anyway. Overpriced.

Dicks down $250 million.
