Article from The Washington Free Beacon by Stephen Gutowski.
The CEO of Dick’s Sporting Goods told CBS News this weekend that his decisions to stop selling certain guns and hire lobbyists to push for new gun bans have cost his company roughly $250 million.
CBS Sunday Morning host Lee Cowan asked Dick’s CEO Ed Stack how much his company lost after the retailer decided to stop selling firearms to anyone under the age of 21.
“About a quarter of a billion,” Stack replied. “Pretty close.”
Stack also said the company destroyed $5 million worth of rifle inventory because Stack believed no one should be allowed to own them.

Either this Company is one of the closely held or the stockholders are either of the same political bent or SOUND ASLEEP. I wonder how many customers that enjoy shooting either as a sport or Game animals still shop at his stores? For myself, and I do not own a single firearm, I would shop elsewhere.
I’m all for business, but in this case, I hope they under.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RUN AMOK!!
Time for shareholders to sue his pants (dress?) off for fiduciary breach.
All the shareholders should sell off their shares in the company.
I don’t ship there any more. Also stopped using Wal-Mart ! I sold my colt firearms and replaced with S&W.
Have not shopped their since start of their BS and will not for anything.
Do stupid things, get stupid results. Stay in the sales area of sporting and forget about politics, it belongs in washington and the state capitol. Your personal political beliefs are your own, don’t try to indoctrinate the general public with your political beliefs, you can see how it affects your bottom line, you will never recover the trust you desire in this business, so start thinking of another project, maybe hair college !
Got what he deserves , sorry for the workers .
Please stop illustrating articles about guns with guns stored with their magazines inserted! It shows the kind of ignorance that we condemn in the anti-gun Left.
