    Default Dick's Sporting Goods CEO says the company DESTROYED $5M worth of assault weapons

    Ed Stack said following the decision last year to stop offering assault-style rifles, the question of what to with the remaining inventory lingered.

    "I said, 'You know what? If we really think these things should be off the street, we need to destroy them,'" Stack said, adding that the company turned $5 million worth of the weapons into scrap metal.

    Dick’s made the decision to stop carrying the rifles following the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., which left 17 dead and reignited the national conversation surrounding gun control.

    "We found out that we sold this kid a shotgun," Stack said. "That's when I said, 'We're done.'"

    The CEO of Dick's is a moron like you if he thinks what was destroyed was assault rifles.

    It's OK. I have four of what he incorrectly labels and have yet to have one of you pussies that claims they should be banned try to personally take them.

    why shouldn't AR's and AK's be considered assault weapons?

    It's a good start. A business putting doing what's right for the world over what may be right for the business is admirable indeed. Definitely worth becoming a customer.

    Good for them.

    Why not all the inventory, or donate them to the military instead.
