Dick’s Sporting Goods Informs The World That Its Gun Sales Have Dropped

This is me right now.

Dick’s Sporting Goods wants everyone to know that it has experienced a massive drop in guns sales.

What did you THINK was going to happen, Dick’s?

“Our firearms policy changes impacted our hunt business which saw an accelerated decline,” chief financial officer Lee Belitsky told analysts on the company’s conference call. “We expect these businesses to remain under significant pressure throughout the remainder of the year.”

GEEEEEEE FREAKING WHIZ. I wonder why that happened? Could it possibly have to do with Dick’s ticking off law-abiding citizens by raising the gun purchase age and swearing off “assault rifles” and destroying firearms for no apparent reason and hiring three lobbyists to push for gun control?

Think it through, Dick’s. And keep burning bridges. I’m sure that’ll help.

“We don’t have the best relationship with the firearms manufacturers right now,” Belitsky said.

Hmmm. Wonder why. Sure is a mystery.

Mossberg & Sons is a gun manufacturer that sold firearms to Dicks, and Belitsky isn’t too sure where the manufacturer might stand on giving Dick’s business. “Mossberg did indicate that they weren’t going to sell us on a direct basis,” Belitsky said.

Don’t be mistaken. Dick’s isn’t going downhill or anything. It’s actually doing quite well.

Dick’s Sporting Goods made a bold decision to stop selling assault style rifles. Today, the company’s stock price surged by as much as 27% after reporting stronger than expected quarterly sales https://t.co/exVPDp8yaz pic.twitter.com/LL09pTGCU9

HOWEVER. There’s no doubt that Second Amendment supporters have responded to the company’s moves accordingly. That’s all I’m saying.
