NSSF Expels Dick’s Sporting Goods from Organization
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.

More good news,we`ll see if they survive selling sneakers(over priced).
Dicks stock is down 50% since last fall. No wonder. Ill never shop there again.
With the internet continuing to hammer brick and mortar retailers, I simply cannot fathom why Dick’s would pull such a stunt. Maybe they’re looking for an excuse to close their doors and thought this slap in their customers’ face would speed the process.
This is just a desperate attempt to get the anti-gun knuckleheads to salvage their failed business by buying more socks and tennis balls. Good riddens.
Dicks, a company that lived up to its mame!
Good stuff. Glad to see a sector of the community that should be defending our Constitutional rights have the moxie to tell gutless liberal corporations we won’t put up with their crap.
