Dicks decided to live up to their name and dickishly remove AR sales from most if not all of their stores in light of recent events and imo trying to appease the sheeply bleeding heart liberals. I honestly am so pissed at this move that I decided im done buying from them for good. I started a page on FB and it would be greatly appreciated if anyone who cares could share the page if at least give it a like. > **[Log In or Sign Up to View](http://www.facebook.com/boycottdickssportinggoods)** > > See posts, photos and more on Facebook. ---

So the company that clearly doesn’t want you as a customer is going to be boycotted by you? This is equivalent of “You can’t fire me! I quit” :lol ---

Seems like good marketing strategy to me. People are upset. Whether the avarage Joe knows what constitutes an assault rifle or not, doesn’t matter. Dick’s doesn’t want them seen on the racks…Makes sense to me… ---

Lose some pro gun or lose some anti gun customers. If it was a corporate decision on their part to stop supporting AR, you’re just an acceptable loss to them as they already wrote you off. ---

So because they decided to stop selling ONE type of item, out of the thousands of product types they sell, fuck um for life right! Its not like they are cleaning out the store of every Rifle, Shotgun, Pistol, Paintball jun, BB gun Bow and Arrow, or knives. Its one fucking product type. Hang on, I am going to go start a boycott against BassPro… they stopped selling Kevin VanDam signature series crankbaits after he was caught cheating in a tournament. So I will never, ever, order another trolling motor, Shakespear UglyStick or another spool of Berkly Power Braid from them! I will just go to DICKS! ---

will not be shopping there. i was going to get an AR for trace there but fuck em, i’d rather spend double the money somewhere else that SUPPORTS your right to bear arms, not caves in the face of a vagina (translation: liberal faggot). That’s be like chevrolet not selling trucks anymore cause some kid died in a truck accident that wasn’t even their fault. ---

They still sell many other types of guns and other dangerous weapons. They are a business, out to make money… they somehow figured if there was a ban, that they have no controll over, they would be sitting on millions of useless steel. maybe they used that money and bought more stock in other guns? ---

So wait, a store that sells like 7 different calibers and dozens of guns does NOT support a right to bear arms? Fuckit, are we boycotting Walmart too because it’s missing a special caliber? Or maybe missing armor piercing rounds? :rofl ---

oh so instead of selling off old stock they decided NOT selling it somehow puts them in the plus? what did you do their accounting for them?!?!? this is FUCKED. Why would you shop somewhere that doesn’t support your rights? That’d be like you saying ok CRC doesn’t sell black powdercoat anymore because it’s a racist color and still expecting to sell the rest of your inventory of friend chicken, watermelon, etc. I don’t know how to best explain it so your feeble minds understand. ---

They never sold .50 cal. Why didn’t you boycott them before? They NEVER supported your right to bear .50 cal. I understand if they stopped selling guns entirely but this is just stupid. Maybe they know AR’s will be banned and they won’t much money in future. Who the hell knows. Did they used to sell everything you wanted before? No? They’ve never changed their stock before? These commie fucks. :ahh [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/boycott-dicks-sporting-goods/265776.md?page=2)
