GENESEO, IL, (05/03/18) – Springfield Armory is severing ties with Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, in response to their hiring a group for anti-Second Amendment lobbying.
This latest action follows Dick’s Sporting Goods’ decision to remove and destroy all modern sporting rifles (MSR) from their inventory. In addition, they have denied Second Amendment rights to Americans under the age of 21. We at Springfield Armory believe that all law abiding American citizens of adult age are guaranteed this sacred right under our Constitution.
It is clear where Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, stand on the Second Amendment, and we want to be clear about our message in response. Their position runs counter to what we stand for as a company. At Springfield Armory, we believe in the right and principles fought for and secured by American patriots and our founding forefathers, without question. We will not accept Dick’s Sporting Goods’ continued attempts to deny Second Amendment freedoms to our fellow Americans.
This is a GREAT thing, don't get me wrong, but this doesn't feel good for the long term. We're economically balkanizing, as Texas flips blue Texans will leave for redder pastures (same with Florida) and create redder and redder regions that do little trade with blue regions due to boycott signaling. We're like 60% of the way to a secession
>we'll be too old to fight You'll be the first to swing, boomer :^)

You know what? They started this shit. There is no guilt on us. We should just make kid militias. Like the B*y Scouts but with guns and no faggots.

I'm 25. If you think it's going off this decade or two prepare for disappointment. We will be remembered as the people who accelerated it and died before it got real. We will be remembered worse than boomers senpai

It's already a purple state. As more tech companies move to Austin/Houston, expect more lefties from California. Simultaneously spics will shit out more and more kids that will inevitably vote for gibs, i.e. left.
The demographics are against you, user.

Oh Springfield and your virtue signaling. Don't think we've forgotten what you've tried to pull before. Not to mention the company itself is a huge misrepresentation of history.
