March 1, 20188 yr Author Flip flopping again? Come on Cheese! I would ask you to show me how I was flip flopping, but since you disappeared the last time I asked you to prove something you were saying, I won't waste my time again. :lol:
March 1, 20188 yr I would ask you to show me how I was flip flopping, but since you disappeared the last time I asked you to prove something you were saying, I won't waste my time again. :lol: Oh no, I clearly showed you last time. So you do or do not support banning them? Or just don’t think they should be used until 21, unless if you’re in the military? Maybe I am confused on which side you’re currently on with your mixed thoughts.
March 1, 20188 yr I would imagine Dicks total sales from guns is a very small number. I wonder if they would do the same if it was a significant number?
March 1, 20188 yr I would imagine Dicks total sales from guns is a very small number. I wonder if they would do the same if it was a significant number? Probably not. But they did, and I don’t expect much backlash. Risk/reward has been evaluated thoroughly.

Maybe I am confused on which side you’re currently on? You are bad at this posting online thing... :lol2: :lol2: While I see no need for civilians to have these type of weapons, I do not think we need to ban anything in order to take steps in the right direction. I clearly stated that in my post where I said we at least need to make it more difficult for someone to get one. The age requirement is a completely separate discussion. I have no issues with the age restrictions put in place by one retailer. If someone is under 21 and wants to buy a gun from Dick's, I have no problem with either A.) Dick's telling them no or B.) Dick's writing something in their policy to allow military or LEO's to purchase weapons. None of this is hard to understand, really.

My man playing the drums and guitar at the same time, you got skills. Back to the subject, I do agree that Dicks as a retailer can do whatever they want.
March 1, 20188 yr Cruz bought his assault rifle from Sunrise Tactical 3 days after being expelled from high school at 18 years old. Who can blame any national retailer for not wanting to be a part of this.
March 1, 20188 yr Author Cruz bought his assault rifle from Sunrise Tactical 3 days after being expelled from high school at 18 years old. Who can blame any national retailer for not wanting to be a part of this. Phew, good thing they didn't discriminate against him because of his age... Imagine what might have happened then.
March 1, 20188 yr Dick's Sporting Goods hardens stance on gun sales | Cronkite News Woods said Dick’s has every right to make this decision. He said it was unlikely Dick’s would be sued for age discrimination because those laws usually apply to those older than 40, but the situation could change if other retailers follow suit. If every major retailer required customers to be 21 or older to buy a firearm, he said, it would amount to a de facto ban – even though that wouldn’t violate constitutional rights. “Is it age discrimination? Well, now maybe it is,” he said. “It’s possible if more and more retailers engage in this behavior.”
March 1, 20188 yr Probably not. But they did, and I don’t expect much backlash. Risk/reward has been evaluated thoroughly. No doubt. My point is as many have pointed out, this is nothing more than a PR move. It could have an undesired effect on their Feild and Stream stores.
