New York (CNN Business)Dick’s Sporting Goods will stop selling guns at 440 additional stores this year, escalating the company’s methodical elimination of firearms from its stores.
The move follows a series of decisions at Dick’s to scale back gun sales. A few days after the Parkland, Florida, school shooting in February 2018, the company announced it would stop selling semi-automatic weapons like the one used in the event.
A few months later, Dick’s pulled firearms and hunting accessories from 10 stores as a test. That went well: Overall sales increased at those stores. The company then pulled guns and ammunition from 125 additional stores in March 2019.
Now Dick’s plans to nearly quadruple the number of stores without guns, the company announced during its fourth-quarter earnings report Tuesday.
Dick’s (DKS) CEO Edward Stack told analysts in March 2019 that the company would treat gun control “as a multi-year initiative,” and that he expected to remove guns from more stores in 2020. The company has been conducting a strategic review of its hunting business since the Parkland shooting.
Dick’s is the largest US sporting goods retailer, with 827 stores across the country. Walmart (WMT) remains the world’s largest gun retailer.
The company reported $2.6 billion in net sales for the fourth quarter, up by 4.7% year over year. Its stock jumped by 13% after the announcement.

Save us all the drama and close shop.
Will never shop there anyway.
Support Constitutional America, not Left-wing Communists.
*or right-wing communists. Both are attached to the same damn dirty commie bird. Shoot it and accept nothing less than individual liberty.
Nailed that one Martist. 🙂
America has no Constitution. It is a corporation, created through an unlawful corporate charter. (See Title 28, Section 15)
We all need to be on the same page here and on that page is the 10 Articles of absolute ratified law that has been and is being violated.
The Constitution belongs to aristocrats. The people, nor any elected representative of the people, ratified the Constitution. The people’s elected representatives did however ratify a separate document called the Bill of Rights, which is the supreme law of this land.
And as Martist has informed you, they are all communists. There is no left, there is no right, no democrat, no republican. There is just the absolute ratified law of we the people, the criminals who are violating it, and we the people whose duty it is to enforce it.
I thought they went out of business after they proudly started singing the communist national anthem… Oh well! Let the communist bitches nail their own coffin shut.
