Thank you Dicks Sporting Goods for dropping sales of assault style rifles.

They’re also not going to sell high capacity magazines any longer.

1. Also--

they aren't going to sell ANY guns to anyone under 21. Good intentions, but IMHO, won't hold up in court. Age discrimination.

4. Rental car companies have refused to rent to people under 25 for years

2. I just went to their web site and thanked them in their feedback area

We criticize a lot and it is important that we give proper thanks to corporation that do good. Especially when they are the first to takeaction and kind of get the ball rolling.

13. I did too. I will reward them by shopping there as well.

5. So we've forgiven them for selling the Sandy Hook gun?

...just now?

This is a diversion story to cover for the Field & Stream retail brand and bump some sales at the Dicks stores.

Dicks stopped selling guns after Sandy Hook - but their Field & Stream brand continued to sell them.

Now they are all out - and that's good - but lets not give them too much credit.

Sorry thats a bit cynical.

6. Dicks sold Cruz a gun - just now on CNN

Not "the" gun - but kind of shows...sure they stopped selling ARs - but still selling guns...

Cruz might still have bought the gun - even if they didn't ARs

I guess raising age to 21 is the win here.

Im glad they are doing something - but its not all that much.

12. I used to say that at the beginning of every journey after having taken only three steps.

"Im glad they are doing something - but its not all that much..."

I used to say that at the beginning of every journey after having taken only three steps.

But I get it... narratives often demand we find fallacies to throw against the wall in hopes they stick.
