I think my silent protest to stores that play politics with the Constitution will receive all my receipts from competitive businesses taped or spray glued to their front doors.

Maybe if they see the bottom line of their political posturing they and their stockholders will see the error of their ways.

Dick’s Sporting Goods, another left-wing outlet going down in flames. Enjoy your "progressive" fall.

The Dick's Sports in my area carry low end products, the customer service is sub-par and their firearms and ammo selection was a joke. They just cannot compete with Scheels, Cabelas and Bass Pro.

I expect to see them closing some branches in the near future

Well, it seems Yeti just sh*t the bed. On the flip side, maybe this will bring their prices down to a reasonable level.

Their replacements are out there. This one is USA made too if I'm not mistaken and you can get it at Wal Mart for 97 bucks:

This instantaneous cowering and kneeling leaves little question of the the caliber of people running these companies and organizations.

I prefer RTIC, also a Texas company. Hopefully Yeti soon goes the way of that mysterious beast who also cannot be found.

RTIC posted a picture of the 2nd Amendment on their Facebook page.

Dick's quadruples down on losing business

Dick’s Sporting Goods Hired Three Gun Control Lobbyists In April

Quote:
Dick’s Sporting Goods, which announced in February it would no longer sell rifles to anyone under the age of 21, hired three Beltway lobbyists to lobby Congress for gun control, according to federal records reviewed by The Federalist.

The lobbying records show Dick’s hired two Democrats and one Republican from Glover Park Group, a DC-based government affairs firm, for “[l]obbying related to gun control.” No other policy issues were listed in the disclosure form filed by the firm. The disclosure forms show Dick’s pro-gun control lobbying effort began official on April 27, 2018. The official registration form noting Dick’s retention of Glover to push for gun control was filed on Monday morning.
Dick's...they look like penises, just much smaller.
