This morning waking up to this news - first thoughts - these kids have accomplished more in two weeks than congress has in any measure of recent memory. Everyone who claims to give a shit needs to get behind them and march next month.

Wal Mart stopped selling assault-style rifles years ago. Don’t think they saw any ‘backlash’ affecting their bottom line. Still making $$ hand over fist last I heard.

Maryland case says assault rifles NOT covered under 2nd Amendment. “Weapons of War” not covered. Good.

I wonder who the first conservative figure will be to demand a boycott after complaining earlier in the week about how boycotts are unfair and tools of the snowflakes on the left.

Just keep in mind that Dick’s did this after Sandy Hook as well and started selling AR-15s again less than a year later. We’ll see if this one sticks

The better half has bought golf balls, I’ve bought a few things, so I’ll drop this CEO a note to let him the rest of us are okay with this.

How many hard core NRA members ?
4-5 million
That leaves 300 odd million who are NOT ammosexual
I think your sanity Mr. Stack will be applauded by the Majority

I know that and so do the Parkland victims and that’s why they are going after the politicians who take that money.

Who the hell needs an AR-15 to hunt deer? Good on this man and his company for doing the right thing.

This is all true. In certain pols’ rush to provide cover for the NRA they purposely overlook the hundreds of millions who are not amused but are fearful. Stack’s not on Twitter but Dick’s is.
