Dick’s May Have to Close 35 Stores

[Caustic Burno]

Still waiting on your case citation for Dick's being in violation of the law, CB.....

Please in the future refrain from replying to me your not worth my time.
I have failed the IQ test in trying to reach someone of your political leanings.

Just to clarify, what they decided to stop selling was assault rifles, and gun sales to people under 21.
I have no love lost for the chain. Only time I was ever in one (20 years ago), the staff was rude, and I swore I'd never step foot in one again. But they adopted this position after the Florida school shooting, and given how many of the shootings have been done by teens with assault-type rifles, I can't say it's an absurd policy.

Teens (LESS THAN 18) cant buy guns legally so it was ignorant statement . the silent majority will always prevail.

there is no such thing as an ASSAULT RIFLE , another ignorant misconception

Parkland was a 19yo perp. (That is a teen). Dick's were responding (rightly or wrongly) to that. Agree that these perps come from a wide variety of ages; the common denominator is white male, but age ranges. https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/p ... 018.304584
You can call the guns whatever you like. I have no trouble with the common parlance but realize the language is loaded (no pun intended)

common denominator is WHITE huh??

Can you please show from your own article where it says this?

Can you please show some other statistics on crime based on race? I'll wait, and if you'd like.. I'll post them.
Can you please show some other statistics based on gun violence and race? I'll wait, and if you'd like.. I'll post them.

Are you racist toward white people?

Whoa. You misunderstand. I'm just stating facts. Most mass/school shooters (which is what we're talking about here, the context of Dick's decision following Parkland)) are white men. That's just a fact; not sure why you're jumping on me for stating a fact? It's actually pretty well-established. https://www.statista.com/statistics/476 ... er-s-race/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/476 ... -s-gender/
How do we address the problem when we're not even willing to look honestly at the facts?

[CB]They targeted a group in society to discriminate against their legal right.
Only a lib would see the discrimination as justified. Funny the group they targeted are old enough to defend you but not themselves.
That is like a majority of the crimes committed are around public housing are located , so they should be torn down.
I assure you more kids have died around public housing.

Dicks chose to violate constitutional rights. Only legislation elected by the people has that right to make that decision. Now if passes the checks and balance of Justice system is another story."[CB]

You responded to me, CB. I have always been civil to you, even when I disagreed strongly with something you said. I would appreciate the same courtesy. Thank you. We don't all have to see eye to eye, but we don't have to name-call and say people are stupid for not agreeing with us, surely.

address the problem?

you're more likely to die on the way to work today... then to be killed by a white mass shooter..

the list goes on.. the very thing that will likely never happen to anyone... is be killed by a white masss shooter.
