    Dick's is anti because it sells Guns and ammo on it's terms instead of yours? Babies.

    The last thing we want is more businesses to sell guns and ammo, so nit pick everything...

    No shortage of places to buy guns and ammo. The vast majority of those places support our Second Amendment.
    Dicks Sporting Goods does NOT support the Second Amendment, thus supporting them with our $ is the same as supporting any other anti-gunner.

    How does Dick's not support the Second Amendment? I think I know what the answer will be, but I want to hear someone explain what they think is evidence of this.

    INGO loves its purity tests.

    Is this based on Dick's pulling ARs after Newton or are they actively funding anti gun causes? I think it is good that Dick's sells some guns and ammo, the vast majority of Dick's shoppers will not set foot in a gun shop, but they do see guns being sold and bought by people with families who are much like themselves, I see this a positive.

    It's a free world, you are welcome to support and promote the anti-gun establishments all you choose.

    Our kids and grandkids will finish this fight later. Hopefully, they'll live through it to remember what their parents did to them.

    That's your evidence that Dick's is anti? Like I said, INGO and it's purity tests.

    :rolleyes:

    Saul Alinsky would be pleased with your attempt at using ridicule.

    There are those of us who choose not to support certain companies with our dollars because of their policies on guns. If you choose to support them, then have at it, but not me. I have my reasons not to support them and you have yours to support them, to each their own. Have a great day!

    Papers......show me your papers or I have reasonable cause to believe you intend to commit an illegal act. Do I need to carry my passport to buy a box of .22's???? Really?

    There are many places I refuse to give money because of their policy on various subjects. My few bucks may not matter in the grand scheme of things but it sure helps me sleep at night knowing I don't support them.

    If memory serves when I was very young you had to sign off on ammo purchases. I used to buy my .22 LR at the K-Mart at 38th & High School in the day. They had me sign a ledger.
