Who's to say it wouldn't be 15% or more if they sold assault rifles? This proves zero correlation0

It is a pretty dumb tweet to be honest. NRA lovers? Yes I am sure some people said that but no one in their right mind thought dick s would go out of business. The sale “Assault weapons” I assume were not a huge part of their business.dignin said:

I guess when you're in a hurry to be captain contrarian you miss the details.The NRA-ILA ran an article about the news under the headline: “Hard Times for Dick's as Second Amendment Supporters Respond to Company’s Anti-Gun Bent.”
What is becoming increasingly clear, however, is that Dick’s has inserted itself into a tight spot from which it might not emerge unscathed, if it manages to survive at all. Its business with Second Amendment supporters in particular may well grind to a halt.

I'm not american. I don't care about this thing called "the second amendment" or being pro or anti it. And your countries hang up on focusing on that in a debate instead of common sense is eye-rolling.mcgruff10 said:

I'm pro common sense. I'm a common-senser. That is universal.
In the same voice Nancy uses when she says "Screw sleep!" in A Nightmare on Elm Street" -- Screw your amendments!

Agree. I am willing to bet it was a calculated move and they looked into how much revenue they get from assault rifles, and when they realized it was very little they thought that making a big deal about not selling them would help business even more with a lot of free advertisement from this. I doubt it had much to do with not selling assault rifles.mcgruff10 said:

Get a gun store who has the majority of sales from guns to not sell these would be a bigger statement.Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

There hasn't been any mass slaughter in the last little while. Give it a bit of time. There'll be something else to post about soon enough. Hopefully nobody's children around here (just other people's children).

The point of the tweet is simple, gun supporters thought dicks would lose business when they stopped selling certain kinds of weapons... to prove that theory wrong the tweet says their stock is up 14%... but that proves nothing of the sort
who is to say the stop on sales didnt hurt them and their profits or stock price would have gone up more than the 14% it did? Maybe if they were still selling them their stock would be up 15, 18, 25%?

They have not only survived, their stock has risen, so far at least. Now, if the NRA had said "they won't make as much profit as they could have", then maybe that would be true, but that's not what they said. They predicted at the least that Dick's would not "emerge unscathed", and at worst "not survive at all", neither of which appears to be the case.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
