Dick's Sportings Goods take a huge hit for stopping sells of "assault weapons"

Was never a huge fan of DSG's, but there were times when they had some nice sells on backpacking gear and I'd save some money there. After they decided to indict a whole segment of law abiding citizens that legally own a particular type of weapon, which they along with the ignorant ass media and liberals call "Assault Weapons," vowed to never set foot in their establishments again. Seems like I'm not the only one.

I don't buy any of my daughter's soccer stuff there anymore, I'll pay more to not buy there.

By the time they opened stores in the Oklahoma City area, I'm quite certain their corporate focus had already changed to move away from shooting sports. Walking into their stores felt more like walking into Kohl's than walking into Academy.

I gave Dick's Sporting Goods several opportunities to get my business (before they caved to the anti-2A activists). Poor selection, MSRP's, and loud hip-hop music deterred me from ever spending a dime there. I was in and out the door quickly.

Their knee jerk reaction in not selling those rifles, which incidentally accounts for fewer deaths than knives and hammers, reveals their confliction at selling guns at all.
Reminds me of when CVS quit selling tobacco products in a pathetic attempt to change the world.

Ten Years After - Recorded Live (1973) one of the greatest live albums along with Humble Pie - Rockin' the Fillmore and The Who - Live at Leeds.

Funny thing about Ten Years After... they were very popular back then, but after listening to SiriusXM for the past 6-7 years, I bet I haven't heard them played but three times.

Welllllllll; I used to listen to tunes after dark with an old crystal driven am radio from a kit my pops or someone else put together...

No lie... When I was a kid we got AM radio KOMA in our toilet. Yes, we lived just off of 5th street in Moore. My dad called the radio engineer who didn't believe him till he came over and could hear it for himself.

Top that.
