Springfield Armory Cuts Dick’s Off Completely

Postby BigDog58 on Thu May 03, 2018 8:56 pm

In a surprising move that is sure to get the full attention of the expected 20,000 protesters here at the NRAAM in Dallas, Springfield Armory has chosen to sever ties with Dick’s Sporting Goods, in a counter move to support 2nd Amendment rights.

What are typical retail margins on firearms sales?

When I first saw the headline, I did a double-take. Then my little mind thought of Bobbitt, and I cringed, just a little :o

Looks like there are cheap halloween costumes if anybody wants to be a Bobbitt. Is that an opossum?

Does this mean we're not boycotting Springfield anymore?

It's hard to keep up with who we should be punishing. What did Springfield do again?

Can we get a sticky for organizations that are on the Sh!t List and why?

Is Jim Beam on any lists - because I believe I'll be dancing with him this evening on the deck - if the weather continues to be this nice. If so, let me know if Jamison or George Dickle are on that list also - trying to support the cause however I can - by not supporting - I guess.

MEH - In the world of anything is too much, I would agree a poor decision, but I doubt its worth hyperventilating over. Classic self preservation move and a CYA payment to corrupt politicians. Is it great, no, but without knowing what was promised for the contribution and whether there was a pay off for the contribution, it is pretty much how influence peddling works. Illinois politics are about as notoriously dirty as they get. If you want to play in that arena, you have to be willing to get dirty. I don't agree with it, but I understand it. You pay for an exemption to some goofy law/ordinance, problem is, you can't rely on they guy you paid off to deliver on his end. Sounds like they may have been double crossed - the politician didn't deliver on his end. That is the risk of this kind of pay off - what's your leverage? They should have done it old school - send a hooker and a surveillance team to his hotel and get photos or get a bribe on tape...............something that gives you real leverage.
