In 1948, at the age of 18, a true and memorable patriot, Dick Stack, worked at a military store in his hometown of Binghamton, NY, following the events of World War II. Not long after Dick's supervisor mocked and degraded him, and with the help of a small donation ($300) from his loving grandmother, he opened a storefront which eventually grew into a real, living, American symbol,... until today (2/28/18), when his succeeding son Edward, a 63-year-old made the decision to make a 'stand' over and on top of his customer base by encouraging a politically driven 'common sense gun reform' agenda, by no longer selling assault style rifles, high capacity magazines or firearms to anyone under 21 years of age.
Let it be reminded that our ancestors fought a great fight to get us what we have today, to protect us from the tyranny of evils both foreign and domestic. Let it be reminded that our ancestors, who were God-loving and American in heart, might mind and strength, built up this country and economy to see us prosper and sustain the principles that they had once fought, built and died for in order to escape religious persecution and a totalitarian government.
Dick's Sporting Goods' executive leadership may go down in history among the traitors and tyrants that we speak of, whose names will stink in the records, and be a shameful thing on the tongues of their children. You are not a 'family first retailer', as the family in this American country is the fundamental unit of society.
