Dick’s Sporting Goods has been one of the companies to cave to demands from gun control activists looking to blame legal firearms and the NRA for mass shootings. Dick’s not only has stopped selling guns to anyone under 21 and stopped selling certain types of guns, but is trying to take that a step further, according to a new report:

From The Federalist:
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.
The rest of that report with more details can be read here.

That's why Dick's is trying to get the government to force Cabellas to adopt same anti-gun policies.

That report isn’t exactly earning Dick’s any new or repeat business.
It's fine, I always preferred @SportsmansW to @DICKS anyway. https://t.co/n8kVk1T8Vk

A good reason to do my sporting goods shopping elsewhere. https://t.co/EC5pTDHSUf

I just went all-out on buying anything from Dick's Sporting Goods. They really weren't a good option anyway… https://t.co/lM84nCyabv
