Mossberg circumsizes Dicks Sporting Goods

Recommended Posts

Mossberg says it is due to learning about the anti-2a lobbyists. I'm hoping even more companies do the same. The hiring of anti-2a lobbyists HAS TO BE the last straw for those that are still buying during sales. There is no way to justify it anymore by consumers or gun manufacturers.

Mossberg makes great budget shotguns as well. If you are 50/50 on Mossberg vs another shotgun, here is your tie breaker.

Seems like we've got some serious pushback going on. Effective immediatly.  I'll bet corporate Dicks is planning to be out of the gun business in a year anyway, how else to explain these anti antics?

Dear Ms. Powell, I'd like to take a moment to thank you on behalf of law abiding gun owners for you support and courageous business decision to withdraw your products from Dicks and Field & Stream stores. While I'm sure this was not an easy choice for you to make we appreciate it and support you as it being the right one. Thanks again.

It's pretty much a give-in how most of us feel about Hi-point products but still their doing this makes them an ally.  I would like to also email them a "thank you for your support".  I'm having trouble finding an email address for them.  Just snail mail and phone numbers and their CEO Charles Brown President, MKS Supply, LLC.  If anyone finds one please share it.  Thanks.

With Shockwave sales off the charts, little or no financial pain for Mossberg. 

"Hey, what's this Mossberg in my safe? Wasn't there last week!"

Ruger only sells through a distributor network.  Rumor has it they have urged these distributors not to sell to Dick's.  But, the distributors are contractually free to do what they want.  Hopefully they will join the movement.

As I said before, Dick's financial status was in the toilet long before this last wave of anti crap started. This will accelerate it.  Now for Federal, Winchester, and others to join the fray.  This will be harder as they are already sitting on a large inventory due to slow sales.  I cannot find what percentage of sales this segment was to Dick's bottom line.  Well, time will tell,  Where the hell are the shareholders in this?

If the distributors ignore Mossberg, then Mossberg will PUBLICLY call them out.  Then WE will email, call, fax, text, sext, instagram, facebook, myspace, youtube, snapchat said distributor to death.

now we need Remington to follow suite. Once they do Dick's will be completely out of the hunting business, no more turkey guns!

Not gonna happen, Big green is dying and Dick's is probably keeping them from sinking quicker.

If remington doesn't drop Dick's I am pretty sure they will sink even quicker.

We need Vista Outdoor to cut off Dick's as well.  They have so many products:

Savage
Federal Premium
American Eagle
Independence
Hoppes
M-Pro 7
Camelbak
CCI
Speer
Blazer
Uncle Mike's
Blackhawk
RCBS
Champion
Butler Creek
Bushnell
Simmons
Weaver
Tasco
Bell

 

That would seriously cut Dick's supply of products..

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
