Dick’s Sporting Goods Hired Three Gun Control Lobbyists In April
The sporting goods store, under fire for refusing to sell rifles to anyone under the age of 21, is now officially lobbying Congress for gun control, according to federal lobbying activity records.
May 2, 2018 By Sean Davis
Dick’s Sporting Goods, which announced in February it would no longer sell rifles to anyone under the age of 21, hired three Beltway lobbyists to lobby Congress for gun control, according to federal records reviewed by The Federalist.

The lobbying records show Dick’s hired two Democrats and one Republican from Glover Park Group, a DC-based government affairs firm, for “[l]obbying related to gun control.” No other policy issues were listed in the disclosure form filed by the firm. The disclosure forms show Dick’s pro-gun control lobbying effort began official on April 27, 2018. The official registration form noting Dick’s retention of Glover to push for gun control was filed on Monday morning.

I'm torn between never stepping in one of their stores again, and using their fitting rooms as my personal restroom when ever I go to the mall.

F-Dicks!

Anyone who buys ANYTHING from them is guilty by association. I know it's hard to avoid all companies that hate the 2nd but this is pretty obvious. I hope these fuckers go under.

It is hard. But when you have a store that sells guns, ammo, accessories, hunting and fushing stuff AND THEY LOBBY FOR GUN CONTROL; then they MUST be boycotted. We expect that behavior from google and other tech giants, but not a damn outdoor sports store.

"Let's legislate ourselves out of a big component of our business! That'll show 'em how great and progressive we are!"

Yea excellent business model they got there.

 

[FrankenCub]

Unfortunately Fudds wont give a shit, they'll still congregate at the firearms counter talking skeet and waiting for the next big sale on target loads.
I'd sew all of my jeans into a tent before I spend a penny at their so called outdoor stores.

 

[Acer-m14]

I just got an email from Springfield Armory

GENESEO, IL, (05/03/18) – Springfield Armory is severing ties with Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, in response to their hiring a group for anti-Second Amendment lobbying.

This latest action follows Dick’s Sporting Goods’ decision to remove and destroy all modern sporting rifles (MSR) from their inventory. In addition, they have denied Second Amendment rights to Americans under the age of 21. We at Springfield Armory believe that all law abiding American citizens of adult age are guaranteed this sacred right under our Constitution.

It is clear where Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, stand on the Second Amendment, and we want to be clear about our message in response. Their position runs counter to what we stand for as a company. At Springfield Armory, we believe in the right and principles fought for and secured by American patriots and our founding forefathers, without question. We will not accept Dick’s Sporting Goods’ continued attempts to deny Second Amendment freedoms to our fellow Americans.
