We cats are more than willing to hop on the let's-all-laud-Dick's bandwagon today — not just because their statement (above) was very impressive, but because we know it's driving the NRA crazy.
And we appreciate the fact that, since Dick's is one of the nation's largest gun retailers, this is a huge move for them. Guns are a big part of their business — which is under stress, even with the death of Sports Authority and other firms, thanks to online competition.
Finally, we're willing to praise Dick's because we've been their customers in the past for cycling, skating and fitness supplies — never failing to make jokes about their company name along the way.
But we just have to ask: Why did they sell assault weapons in the first place? Dick's is a sporting goods store. Unless the sport in question is hunting humans, not deer, why would an assault rifle be necessary? Asking for 17 dead people in Parkland. We cats HISS.
