Re: Dick's Sporting Goods to destroy all unsold firearms after Parkland shooting
Destroying the weapons is all about the publicity. They could have quietly donated them to law enforcement and even if they didn't consider that an option they could have quietly destroyed them. Instead they make a big deal out of it to garner some additional publicity now that the initial fanfare has waned along with their sales and stock. Perhaps they think they'll get some additional anti business. I wish there was a way to check their IRS filings to see if they carry this as a loss on the books. Destroying your inventory no matter the reason is not a loss. Some pro 2nd Amendment stock holders should demand to know why they are deliberately losing money by destroying inventory and also check the financial statements for how they classify the losses. If they take it as a loss that would be fraud in my book.
