Springfield Armory cuts ties with Dick's

[392heminut]

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.

Good on them.  Dick's need to just go ahead and bankrupt themselves, quick-like.

Sadly Dicks makes 75%+ of its money off  other sports than hunting and shooting. Also sad that my mom grew up in the town where dicks stared as a mom and pop shop, look at them now. SMH..

Too soon........Springfield is a little hypocritical in their condemnation of dick's. It was about a year ago they were the center of the storm for paying lobbyists to get them cut out of a restrictive gun sales bill in Illinois. I will not soon forget this and it will take more than a press release piling on an already condemned business to set things right.
