That is to say, if National Gun Control is somehow achieved, then Academy and all other their other retail rivals will have to stop selling guns. Thus Dick's would no longer be facing a product range disadvantage.

Yes, maybe they could also hire lobbyists to ban all other products that they currently carry. Then they would have a level playing field as they and all competitors go out of business.

And to be clear, they will lose ALL of the business from gun owners. This includes much more than guns. Alot of us have kids that are into sports and we have other hobbies like golf, etc. I stopped buying from Dick's after their actions against civil rights in February. But before that, most of my spending there had nothing to do with guns.

Apparently these folks have forgotten who they work for. Their customers pay the salaries for their executives and the board. And they are actively lobbying against those same customers. They hope that this will win them more business from the tofu eating crowd. It might help them a little there, at least for a short while, but they won't offset the complete and total loss of business from gun owners. We have very long memories.

Let me be the first to say "buh bye Dicks. It was nice knowing ya."
