If they are too squeamish to sell firearms, fine ... quit selling them. It's a business decision for them to make. Problem is ... and this is definitely highlighted by the "Double Dip" article you posted ... NONE of this nonsense is a business decision ... it is a knee-jerk reaction to irrational, politically correct hysteria. And, whenever businesses start running their business based on fickle political issues, rather than on sound business reasoning, they end up getting a large chunk of their ass bit off. Whoever is running this sporting goods store is a weak-willed, weak-minded moron, and if I was a shareholder, I would be wanting their head on a plate.

I could've sworn I remembered something about this happening once before. It seems I was right.

Double Dip?? Dick’s First Touted End to ‘Assault Rifle’ Sales After Sandy Hook
Dick’s Sporting Goods Announces End to ‘Assault Rifle’ Sales — Again


by AWR HAWKINS
Breitbart.com

Dick’s Sporting Goods made a February 28 announcement informing the public that the retail chain will end “assault-style rifles”–again.

The retail chain made a similar announcement days after a gunman carried a stolen AR-15 and handgun into a gun-free zone and killed 26 innocents.

On December 18, 2012, Breitbart News reported that DICK’S Sporting Goods was suspending sales of “modern sporting rifles,” a moniker that encompasses AR-15s, AK-47s, and similar firearms. CNN reported that DICK’S expunged “modern sporting rifles” from its website on the same day.

Dick’s is now in wash, rinse, repeat mode. In the wake of the February 14 Florida school shooting they are again announcing an end to “assault-style rifle” sales:

Dick’s most current plan to quit selling “assault-style rifles” comes after admitting that the Florida school gunman legally purchased a shotgun from one of the retailer’s stores. The school gunman did not use the shotgun in his attack.

Dick’s tweeted, “[The shotgun] was not the gun, nor type of gun, [the gunman] used in the shooting. But it could have been.”
