[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2602162, member: 42"] Why do you give a chit as well? I don't mind people making choices and I don't give a sh$t what happens in Alaska. Alaska and it's less than 1 million residents aren't relevant to this discussion. I'm commenting on the hypocrisy of declaring one is nobly taking a stand against Dicks when other popular stores, and manufacturers, have and continue to do the same thing you accuse Dick's of doing. (That's what we do here right? We talk about stuff...otherwise WTF are you doing here?) Walmart pulled handguns after a spate of shootings, including one high profile shooting in which a deranged idiot used a handgun purchased from Walmart. They dressed it as a marketing/streamlining thing, but the shootings were the real direct cause....which is even worse. They tried to cover up the reason and many people, like you apparently, bought it hook, line, and sinker. Cabelas, Academy and other major retailers pulled certain guns from their shelves in CT after the shooting as well, do you still shop at any of them? Ever bought a Ruger? Own a Smith and Wesson? Go ahead and "make your choices" but spare us the holier-than-thou "making a stand" angle unless you are willing to apply the same standard to any and all retailers who have made anti-gun marketing decisions in the wake of shootings and/or under political pressure.
