Dick’s just fired its Republican lobbyist and hired three new lobbyists who will push exclusively for gun control, federal records show. https://t.co/Ii2TsVLMD1

They went FULL HOGG.
You know, because they’re all about gun control now. Wonderful. Good for them.
Dick’s Sporting Goods, which announced in February it would no longer sell rifles to anyone under the age of 21, hired three Beltway lobbyists to lobby Congress for gun control, according to federal records reviewed by The Federalist.
I have nothing more than an eye-roll for this.
The lobbying records show Dick’s hired two Democrats and one Republican from Glover Park Group, a DC-based government affairs firm, for “[l]obbying related to gun control.” No other policy issues were listed in the disclosure form filed by the firm. The disclosure forms show Dick’s pro-gun control lobbying effort began official on April 27, 2018. The official registration form noting Dick’s retention of Glover to push for gun control was filed on Monday morning.
I’m not sure what they’re getting at…
What’s the play here?
If Dick’s won’t sell guns, none of its competitors will be allowed to either? https://t.co/4EpUnEo149

Attract the yoga pants audience. Better margins.

But WAIT…
Does the yoga pant crowd even shop at Dick’s? I figured the name would be too offensive? #smashthepatriarchy #hatealldicks https://t.co/VDQbj499Mx

Just sayin…
More money for Cabellas.

But seriously… is that what they’re trying to prevent?!
That’s why Dick’s is trying to get the government to force Cabellas to adopt same anti-gun policies.

THIS IS MESSED UP. Is that really why?!
THEY chose to stop selling ARs back in February… now they want others not to be ALLOWED to?
Don’t be a Dick’s.
