…a Dick’s Sporting Goods spokesperson announced that their entire remaining inventory of “assault weapons” had been lost in a tragic canoing accident.
Yeah, that would be funny. Instead, Dick’s went full dick.
After announcing policies that most gun owners saw as alienating, Dick’s Sporting Goods said it will go one step further and destroy its remaining inventory of firearms dubbed “assault weapons.”
A spokeswoman told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the remaining inventory at the retailer’s Field & Streams stores will be destroyed and then recycled.
“We are in the process of destroying all firearms and accessories that are no longer for sale as a result of our February 28th policy change,” she said. “We are destroying the firearms in accordance with federal guidelines and regulations.”
What a bunch of dicks.
I wonder what kind of loss they’ll take… it would be pretty fantastic to see some shareholders sue for breach of fiduciary duty.
Interesting . . . still available locally as of last week, apparently selling out existing stock.
A golf club is an “assault weapon”. One of my relatives was killed with one. Dick’s should remove them from inventory.
Holier than thou, but they’re gonna charge the retail price of the stuff as a tax loss.
