Ha ha! Dick's Sporting Goods goes full gun-controltard: NOW CLOSING 35 STORES, laying off workers.

My favorite videos on youtube are the "instant justice/instant 'karma'" videos, where people go racing past other vehicles like they're standing still, and the vehicles they were passing were screening a cop car that then goes and gets the bad guys right away. It's so perfect, and it's because I love justice SO MUCH. I'd rather see such instant justice for the big fish--especially, for example, like with those who are abusing children, but I'll take what we can get, for now.

Right now, it sure looks like Dick's Sporting Goods is getting exactly what they deserve after they made the decision to ban "big scary guns."...lol... Check out this article:

https://www.dcclothesline.com/2018/12/09/pro-gun-control-dicks-sporting-goods-sales-down-will-close-35-stores/

Here is an excerpt:

"(When Dick's decided to remove guns)...At the time, Dick’s paradoxically predicted that although the move could hurt sales, it would also draw more shoppers to its stores. In August, Dick’s admitted that sales at stores open for at least 12 months tumbled by a bigger-than-expected 4% during the second quarter. But Chairman and CEO Edward W. Stack put on a brave face, insisting he was confident sales would turn around. Alas, Dick’s drop in sales is continuing, such that the company may soon close down their entire Field & Stream chain of 35 stores across 18 states."

Ha ha! I hope they either re-institute a Constitution-respecting business culture, or that the whole firm goes belly-up. I've had it with these libtard corporations trying to force their social mores (and socialist, anti-American values) on American shoppers.

Can I get an "Amen" out there?

The consumer has spoken. 
It will be interesting to see if they make any change to their current policy. You would think that shareholders would call for this.
It would be great to see a change made and still have them fall on their face.

LOL...Oh yea!   I'm with ya, Sweed.

The shareholders should demand the resignation of this libtard CEO, and dozens of major corporations need to do the same thing.
