Is this true?

The actual Dicks branded stores did in 2012.

Their Field and Stream branded stores didn't until today.

IOW, @txradioguy, he can't come up with an example.   :silly: :silly: :silly:

@Jazzhead I don't think you're an idiot, but you sure as Hell think the rest of us on this forum are.  You insult everybody's intelligence with a dumbass statement like that.

@Cyber Liberty hence the reason I asked the question.

The only place he could find doesn't have gun registration...yet.

Right here, right now, in the United States of America. 


Except guns are NOT registered here. Even in cities with draconian laws, there is little compliance, as proven by the high crime on their streets.

There will never be compliance.  Grandma, with her .38 two-inch in the nightstand drawer, isn't about to register her gun.  I've said this before, there are about 300 Million firearms in this country, and they'll be lucky if one Million ever get registered.

New Jersey is in the process of passing laws which will require registration and allow for confiscation for any reason without due process.

I’m still waiting for @Jazzhead to explain why he’s not demanding Dicks sell guns. They’re a sporting goods store after all. If cake makers are required to make homosexual wedding cakes because their business is cakes, then logically Dicks should be required to sell guns.

They are also repealing their concealed carry laws too.

Going to be hard for them to do if people refuse to admit they have a gun.  Or many.  Go ahead, send  cops around to search homes to find out, see how that goes.  It will be a good lesson for the country.

I've asked him, but no answer.  I think the little popcorn fart has me on ignore.

Good point.  I mean to use his words and argument...they are a "public accommodation".

the only history that's relevant as far as I'm concerned is U.S. history.

Right.  Because human nature, does not exist in the U.S.  Neither does the history of what human nature always achieves when people like you get their way.

You truly are an imbecile of the highest order.

Which is why this entire conversation is entirely pointless.., EXCEPT in that it points out in no uncertain terms, those who would take our rights away... Including that SOB in the Whitehouse.

I don't ever want to be North of the Ohio River.

Sadly I got family stuck behind enemy lines in the People's Republic of Illinois.

Yeah, me too. Did I ever tell you I was born in Chicago? I don't mind MN, WI, IL, IN, MI, especially the UP. Just stay a good half day away from the cities, which are wretched places.  But no further east than that.  Heck I probably won't go east of the hump, even, so it's all speculative. If I never get 100 miles from right here, ever again, it will be fine with me.

It does sell guns, and as far as I know they'll sell 'em for a gay shotgun wedding same as a straight one.   :seeya:

What?!  They sell guns but not "assault style rifles"?  That is totally unacceptable.  If they say they sell guns, they should sell ALL guns.  They can't just pick and choose who they want to do business with.

That's right.  They cannot arbitrarily discriminate and refuse to sell assault-style rifles if they are a store that advertises that they sell firearms to use Jazzy's logic.

Dicks could stop selling guns altogether as far as I'm concerned. The two stores I am aware of sale nothing but bolt action rifles, shotguns, and knives. There seems to be never anyone behind the counter, and if you do find someone to help you they know nothing.   If you are looking for bike shorts or a golf shirt, The're OK, but if you are looking for firearms or ammo go someplace else.
