    Dicks sporting goods...avoid

    Never been to one, but I heard on the radio they are not selling anymore "assault type weapons" nor will they sell any gun to anyone under 21. Hope they go under.

    They did the same thing after Sandy Hook, didn't they?

    Hope they go out of business.

    Yes they pulled the same crap after Sandy Hook.

    I went into Dick’s many years ago after they stole a truly great sporting goods store Galyan’s. Galyan’s carried a full line and if they didn’t have it they would order it. When Galyan’s started expanding Dick’s bought their note and converted a great store into an afterthought.

    That alone one made me stop shopping there, and then they pulled the crap after Sandy Hook that locked their doors for me.

    This should be a major help to real gun stores as they will get the customers that leave Dicks.

    I've purchased a few guns from Dicks, when they were on sale (picked up a Marlin Guide Gun for about $375), but really haven't gotten much else from them, other than some fishing stuff.

    I don't need to go in there anymore, especially now.

    This a New York "Save Act" compliant AR-15:



    What comes out of the barrel? Same thing as an "evil" AR-15. How much muzzle energy and velocity? Same.

    How is this rifle any "safer" than a real AR-15?

    Conclusion: Legislators don't care about "safety"... it's all about gutting, then repealing, the Second Amendment.

    We'll soon see if Pres. Trump puts his money where his mouth is.

    Or, said another way: Ya talk the talk... do ya walk the walk?

    So can American males wait until they are 21 to sign up for Selective Service?

    I doubt it will effect their bottom line. I mean how much of their sales involve firearms in general let alone AR's in particular? If someone asked me to name some gun stores here I wouldn't even have considered Dick's. Same with Walmart. I've bought ammo there lots of times but never a firearm. For me the two fall into the places that happen to sell guns which isn't the same as a gun store.

    Are you serious? One thing about an AR-15 is that it looks cool. I wouldn't touch an AR that didn't look straight stock. Funky "handguard rails" or "flip up sights" or any of the other crap they put on the rifle are not for me.




    Puke......... REALLY? UGH!!!!!!!

    My guess is that if they connected the tube and butt together, they'd still have to leave a hole for your thumb, and everyone knows that thumb hole stocks are particularly dangerous and evil. They bring out the bad in everyone who uses them....

    BWAHHHAAAA Perfect! Thanks I needed that laugh. Hearing Trump talk about a ban, makes me nervous as all hell. R's better stand up or bye bye, let the civil war begin when the craps and repugnants ban all semi auto's.(Or Full semi auto's as CNN and a pogue Lt. General say)

    i say no to raising age to 21. as soon as that happens, young hunters and shooters will have a new bunch of headaches. some jerk ass leo will want to arrest a kid for having his deer rifle or clay shooters gun. as far as buying from prick's, they're isn't one near me. walley's sometimes has ammo at decent prices. i try to buy firearms through a wholesale dealer and send it to a local ffl.

    Trump talks a lot of crap. I mean a LOT. He blurts out shit without thinking. He blurts out stuff that's stupid. At least OUR side is fair enough to recognize that he has diarrhea mouth. But he's not a dyed in the wool anti gun ideologue. Clinton was. To an extent Obama was anti gun with all his trash talk, but he wasn't nearly as dedicated to fuck over Gunowners like CLINTON was. Trump is a blabbermouth. I've learned to wait and see with him. But at least I KNOW he doesn't lie awake at night thinking and plotting how to take guns away, like pieces of shit like SCHUMER.

    Exactly. I am willing to consider raising the age that you can buy a gun to 21, especially considering how many children are raised today to not be ready to handle real life when they reach 18. However, if we do this we need to consider what else they are not ready for, driving, moving out, marriage, military service, being responsible for their own health care, etc. This should not be looked at singularly as each of these things affects the whole and shows you are ready to live as an adult.
