    Dick’s Sporting Goods to Remove Guns From 125 Stores

    Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. DKS -11.01% said Tuesday it will stop selling firearms at 125 of its stores, further pulling back from the business after the retailer decided last year to tighten its policies around gun sales.
    Dick’s has struggled with declining sales since its CEO Ed Stack made a public decision to stop selling guns to buyers under 21 and take assault-style weapons out of all stores after a fatal school shooting in Parkland, Fla. Dick’s is also working to stem sluggish sales as more shoppers buy sporting goods online.
    This year Dick’s will remove guns and some hunting gear from 125 locations, after testing the concept in 10 stores last year, Mr. Stack said on a conference call Tuesday. Dick’s had 729 of its namesake locations as of Feb. 2. The space will be used to sell higher-margin, faster-selling categories such as licensed sports gear and outdoor recreation equipment, Mr. Stack said

    No true American would buy from them anymore, anyway

    When you hire and pay anti-gun lobbyist and you sell guns what could possibly go wrong?

    They burnt the bridge and dropped a deuce in their bed and now they will have to own it.

    Since the December 2012 Troy AR's debacle where customers pre-ordered rifles, rifles shipped to stores, management virtue signaled-refusing to allow owners to take possession of their paid for rifles and breaking the Troy contract they have raced to the bottom. This was last nail in their coffin. They can get rid of the guns but their base is sufficiently pissed off and they will, as all socialist-communist do, commit financial suicide.

    But hey they take the higher moral ground... In their own mind and to their own ends.

    So true, but the guys at the top get the golden Parachute, while the store workers get the shaft.
    And all the stock holders get is their worthless paper.

    Such is life.
