May 4, 2018Dick’s Sporting Goods won’t be getting any sympathy from me. Not after its ridiculous display of virtue-signaling. (Did you hear that Dick’s is pledging to “destroy all unsold firearms and accessories that were pulled from shelves after the Parkland massacre“?
Uh-huh.
That’s why I’m not feeling a shred of sympathy for them here. The National Shooting Sports Foundation is dropping ’em like a bad habit.
NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industries, Board of Governors today unanimously voted to expel Dick’s Sporting Goods from membership for conduct detrimental to the best interests of the Foundation.
Dick’s Sporting Goods recently hired a Washington D.C.-based government affairs firm, for “[l]obbying related to gun control.” Dick’s Sporting Goods CEO Edward W. Stack announced earlier this year the retail chain would end sales of modern sporting rifles, voluntarily raise the age to 21 to purchase firearms in their stores and called for more restrictive legislation. Dick’s later announced they would destroy the remaining modern sporting rifle inventory. NSSF responded that business decisions should be individually made, but was nonetheless disappointed and the decision does not reflect the reality of the vast majority of law-abiding gun owners.
Just in case you’re wondering, the NSSF is “the trade association for the firearms industry.”
Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of more than 13,000 manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers.
Smart move. Bye Dicks.
