Even though Dick's advertises themselves as sellers of Sporting Goods and guns, they shouldn't be forced to sell things they find morally repugnant.  "How can one disagree with that?"
Precisely.


They are perfectly free to be Dick's. :shrug:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

He does love to lecture, doesn't he?  It's like having our own, personal Obama.

Dick’s Sporting Goods, Kroger, Walmart, and now L.L. Bean are among the companies raising the minimum age to purchase a gun and or limiting what weapons they stock.

That was my thought too. None of the Kroger's here sell firearms or ammo.

Kroger owns Fred Meyer.  Many of their stores are more like a Wal-Mart selling far more than food.  We used them when we lived in Alaska.

Kroger sells guns at 43 of its 133 Fred Meyer locations in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.

Kroger came under a lot of pressure a few years ago to stop letting their customers carry in their stores, they refused to cave in, and I'm grateful for that.  Out here Kroger's is "Fry's," and my wife carries all the time when she shops there.  Walmart is cool with carrying too.  Both stores are OK with concealed and open carry.

I had no idea Kroger has stores that sell rifles. :shrug:

Never went to a Fred Meyers until we visited Portland,  Oregon.  They have everything from groceries to furniture.  Never noticed whether that store also sold guns, though (unlikely in the socialist paradise of Portland).
