REKT and BTFO. Hope the motherfuckers go bankrupt.

Based mossberg

>implying they already weren't, and the decision to go anti-fun wasn't just a virtue signal to attract left-leaning customers in a bid to take market share from other box stores.

Was Dick's ever good in the first place?

Mossberg confirmed for /ourgunmanufacturer/.

I might have to go out and buy a 590 tonight. I don't own a shotgun so this would be my first

Good.

Always overpriced garbage

Isnt mossberg a swedish company?

American company founded by a Swedish immigrant iirc.

Nope, but the founder of the company was from there. Hence the logo and name.

Springfield did it first

If you go up to the 590a1 instead of just the 590 you get an aluminum trigger guard and safety. IMO it's worth the extra money.

Brb gotta go buy a mossberg

If Remshit and Ruger follow suit, they're truly done for.

They're not bankrupt yet, but their financials are painful to look at from the perspective of an investor.

Has mossberg cucked like springfield did? Not bait, genuine question.

I just realized i dont like shoyguns until the very simple addition of raised sights, then im boner mod.

a fraction of their sales even came from firearms, it's mostly a clothing store with some guns and knives tucked away in the back corner

So then you were a retard to continue to shop there, but now you have no excuse to keep going there?

Don't think so. I'm not even wholly familiar with what Springfield did to begin with, I just know they cut off Dicks recently

This

I didn't need a shotgun a few minutes ago and now I really would like to own a Mossberg. Weird.

But the people that buy those clothes are going to catch wind of this and a boycott movement will get rolling.
Boomers are pretty much only good at boycotting

500s were prolly 50% of their total gun sales. Only fudds shopped there. This prolly stings a little. Kek.

hit 'em where it hurts user

might as well just forget about having any FFL locations at this point, lol. it's going to reach the point where only one or two brands are even willing to sell them gun and then those brands will get some backlash over it and eventually drop them as well.

Huh the first gun I ever owned was a Maverick 88 on sale from Dick's. Oh well good riddance to them and good on Mossberg for pulling out of that cancer

>not familiar
They and Rock River Arms payed zog to be on a good goy list to still be able to sell rifles.

I want to go shoot my 590a1 now for freedom.

Based Mossman. Glad I own three of them.

I wanna get a 930 SPX now, too bad one has to do shit to it so it can cycle target loads.

>being swayed by corporate politicing just because they're on your team

dick's probably never sold many guns in the first place so they decided to get a two-for-one by offloading their rifles then pretending they were going to burn all of them to get brownie points with the left. mossberg probably doesn't deal with dicks very much so they decided to counter virtue signal for red-flavored brownie points.

>mossberg probably doesn't deal with dicks very much

t. has never seen a Dick's gun section

>companies are motivated by profit so can they please stop supporting 2A
So what you insufferable faggot?

sure but how many do they actually sell?

>not sellings ARs in your sporting goods section means you're anti-2a
>giving a shit about the skin-deep politically charged actions businesses do

Good for mossberg. Even without the antigun bullshit dicks is pulling (and has pulled), i dont see them lasting for much longer anyway. They sell overpriced clothes and sports equipment. Like other b&m stores, people go there to see stuff in person then just buy it cheaper online.

Fucking Goyfield, fuck that shit

Best case scenario is that whatever losses incurred by gun manufacturers pulling out is counterbalanced by reductions in operating costs, but the loss of sales on complementary goods, like ammo and accessories, is likely to lead to an overall loss. Dick's is already hardpressed to compete with online retailers, they can't really afford revenue losses or bad publicity.

Enough that they constantly had mossbergs in their inventory for years and years

Enough for them to have maintained a business relationship all this time. It's not like Dicks is some small hole-in-the-wall store, it's a huge chain. It may not be the biggest gun retailer in the world but it's not clear what evidence you're using to conclude that Mossberg probably doesn't deal with dicks very much.

>>not sellings ARs in your sporting goods section means you're anti-2a
Hiring anti gun lobbyists sure means that.

>they can't really afford revenue losses or bad publicity.

i think they realized that bass pro and cabelas gets all the gun-oriented sporting clientele so they're just trying to double-down with the other side.

Every rural Dick's I've ever been to had fudds carrying pump action shotguns out the door. Constant gun sales at the counter.

Ruger did earlier this week

>>giving a shit about the skin-deep politically charged actions businesses do
You probably should. The anti crowd can't seem to pin down their agenda through legislation, now they want to hit the industry and cut people off through commerce, same reason why they're going after banks. People should absolutely care, you fucking shill, and show these businesses that being cucks does not pay off. That blade cuts both ways.

>>not sellings ARs in your sporting goods section means you're anti-2a
yes, that's exactly what it means. for some reason people forget about the SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED part. if you support ANY gun control, you are in fact anti 2A

>not sellings ARs in your sporting goods section means you're anti-2a
Correct.

what if they're ak fags?

Jow Forumssmg/ tard here: DKS has been circling the toilet drain for a full year before this happened, the execs are just looking for a way to blame the company's failure on gun owners. Look at their stock's performance through 2017, which was a massive bull market year for everyone else

Low key wanted a shotgun just because amd the 590 has caught my eye.
Thanks user. I'm digging the wood furniture look.

>SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED part. if you support ANY gun control, you are in fact anti 2A

a store deciding they don't want to sell semi-auto rifles anymore isn't gun control.

Gun owners would wholly accept the blame for killing Dicks.

Found this, though it's Springfield
americas1stfreedom.org/articles/2018/5/9/springfield-quits-doing-business-with-dick-s-sporting-goods/

It is when they virtue signal about it

>if business all just caved in to pressure and stopped selling semi automatic rifles that wouldn't be a form of gun control

what pressure? dick's did this as a fucking gamble to try and gain some good PR.

You can add REI LLBean and yeti to that list. Guess it means more business for small shops.

Suck Dicks, Dick's.

hence the word gamble. you've deluded yourself into thinking antigun moms and teens actually effect sales. i anything the threat of gun control legislation INCREASES sales, which is why the NRA is always trying to spook its members.

>blowing up a $400 cooler when you could’ve just slapped an rtic sticker on it

It's on their corporate Facebook account, Jow Forums is marking the link as spam

also RGR stock beat earnings yesterday and I made a bunch of money, feels good man

Yeah but execs need something to blame when they go to try and work for another company after the ship sinks

>LL Bean
Fuck. I liked their shit and customer service. Goddam it.

Not the mossberg company itself, but one of the mossberg family members has a company that researches "smart" guns and gun controls laws based off smart guns.

nice

Seems that Ruger is also /OurCompany/

ruger and mossman

They're fucking great.

Of course the only other gun companies you can buy stock in are AOBC and VSTO and both of those suck ass, so not a real high bar to clear here

They didn't just offload them, Dick's destroyed them. Then they hired a lobbying firm to push for gun control.

If they're so anti-gun they could just stop selling firearms all together. Dick's just wants it both ways, like how their new policies didn't apply to Field and Stream stores. They deserve to get financially bitch slapped for their actions against gun owners until they close every store.

if they sell to a middleman then how can they even state whether or not dicks will sell ruger shit?

Contracts

>they cut off Dick's recently.
I see what you did there

by telling their middlemen that they will find a different middle man if they don't do what Ruger wants, do you even wholesale bro?

What can I expect from the patriot as my first bolt action. Looking to get into hunting.

>Field and Stream
Forgot they own them, thanks for the heads up.

what the post was saying that legally they can't control who sells to Dicks. But they can stop selling to distributors who keep selling to Dicks, which was heavily implied in the post.

or in other words: it might take a little time, but Ruger products will disappear from their shelves.

>They didn't just offload them, Dick's destroyed them.

nope. they sold a majority of them to bass pro

correction it was field and stream

>we support 2a but...
>gun violence is an epidemic
>we dont think people should own scary black rifles because they are so powerful
>we will continue to sell full power hunting rifles
>parkland 56% bought a shotgun from us legally and that's whats wrong with the 2a
>congress needs to act!
its the same bullshit talking points that are blatantly wrong. by spreading misinformation, and contributing to a climate of fear to promote a political agenda they are in fact contributing to gun control.
its like the same thing as trying to publicly shame people or trying to get them fired for using certain words or associating with certain groups. because that is actively trying to restrict freedom of speech.

It's a hail mary attempt to get left leaning hipsters to come to them instead of REI, not realizing that while said hipsters may certainly be anti gun, they care far more about branding than they do about politics

>bass pro
God I can't stand that place.

field and stream is dicks.
