Default Shots Fired! Springfield Armory to Stop Selling to Dick's Sporting Goods!

I guess virtue signalling has consequences. Springfield cut Dicks off and shoved it in their mouth.

Here's the text of the email I received from SA:

In addition, they have denied Second Amendment rights to Americans under the age of 21. We at Springfield Armory believe that all law abiding American citizens of adult age are guaranteed this sacred right under our Constitution.

It is clear where Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, stand on the Second Amendment, and we want to be clear about our message in response. Their position runs counter to what we stand for as a company. At Springfield Armory, we believe in the right and principles fought for and secured by American patriots and our founding forefathers, without question. We will not accept Dick’s Sporting Goods’ continued attempts to deny Second Amendment freedoms to our fellow Americans.

Never bought anything firearm related from Dicks (always bought from local dealers or Buds) but occasionally bought some golf stuff there. Will not be buying anything from them moving forward

I am going to assume Dick's is feeling the heat of their stupidity. None of their clickable links for feedback is working.
