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.'"

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