AND, I'm talking about support waning among the 66% who don't own guns, or the significant percentage of gun owners who aren't attached to the dang things and realize coddling gun-lovers is detrimental.

Better update your chart now that Cheeto Jesus has put Gundamentalists back to sleep.

And asked him to pass it up to his superiors.

Any time I need sports-related merch (admittedly, not often), that's where I go.

was never about Fire Arms. It was always about the Youth Sports Programs in their local communities. Fire Arms were added as a quick profit item. Sure nice to see these folks get back to the real mission.

Notice Bass Pro Shops are still shuttering Stores and unloading dead Real Estate,that Cabela's Deal is just not cutting it.

I thought Cabela's bought Bass Pro Shops. I am not an outdoors type, so what they sell is of no interest to me. Thanks for correcting me.

Used to love Bass Pro Shops for fishing gear and Camping supplies. Once they went full bore pushing the NRA,that was enough for us. Started using the Internet after that experience .

into three local Dick’s stores after they stopped selling assault rifles.

Asked for a manager. One appeared immediately. They each accepted my thank-you card and stopped to listen to me. One was very restrained, polite, and all-business. But the other two? My goodness! VERY responsive, friendly, even enthusiastic. They each gushed about the public response they’d seen - ALL positive. Some people had sent in flowers or cookies. Tons of good feedback. At the third encounter, I engaged with the young woman manager. But then a young male colleague came over, and he was downright bubbly with delight at the public reaction. They were clearly having a great day at work that day.

I asked them to pass my thank-you note up the food chain. They all said they would.

Positive reinforcement! It’s a good thing! Also gratifying when you hear in little unscientific “polls” like this - how many others out there who feel the same way you do. It was empowering, for sure!

Strictly a business decision and not altruism. It's all about the Benjamin's baby.

At Dicks are down. Cutting high overhead products with small margins, such as guns, is a sound business move.

Apparently the bump in business when they made the announcement of discontinuing assault rifles has not held up long term.

They are high; even their "sale" and "clearance" prices are nothing to write home about.

which I use to follow my son's Little League and travel baseball tournaments. I got into a tussle with another parent on my kiddo's team when he was admonishing me for using the Dick's app because of their gun policy...It was easy to tell him that their gun policy was the reason I use their app! He was all bent out of shape. Win!

And she’ll preside over the most expansive gun control laws in US history. No more psychos buying guns or ammo.
