Dick's said they were pulling all the assault weapons from their stores......AND they did not resell them, but had them all destroyed.
The right wing "boycott" of Dick's backfired spectacularly, their sales went up 20%. They opened their doors to a whole new market and didn't even have to advertise to get them........

I haven't purchased a single item from Cabelas, or the company they sold out to, for twenty years......
