Send Thanks to Dick’s for destroying weapons

7 October 2019 –  The Chief Executive Officer of Dick’s Sporting Goods says the chain has destroyed  $5 million worth of assault-type rifles it once stocked.

The Hill reports  how the sporting goods chain decided to handle its remaining inventory of assault-style rifles, which were turned into scrap.

CEO Ed Stack said of the decision:  “If we really think these things should be off the street, we need to destroy them.'”

 

ACTION:

Please contact Dick’s through one of the channels below and give them the following message, personalized to your liking:

 

I am writing to thank you for destroying millions of dollars-worth of semi-automatic weapons after you decided to no longer sell them.  As far as I am concerned, this move has stopped accidental incidents, prevented deliberate shootings and has stopped suffering and death to an extent we’ll never know.

Particularly with the NRA exposed by a Senate report as being a Russian asset, I applaud your taking this heroic stance.  Many companies and institutions are turning away from the discredited NRA.  I will certainly remember your wonderful act when I need to buy any sporting goods in the future.  Again, thank you.

Or for Twitter:

@DICKS As a member of @1Pulse4America  thank you for turning $5 million worth of guns into scrap metal. We’ll never know how many accidental shootings you’ve stopped or how much misery you’ve prevented; this act is amazing.  I’ll shop with you when I next buying sporting goods.
