With recent events, Dick’s (and many other sporting-goods companies) are no longer selling “assault” rifles. First off, it bothers me that all of these people (mostly libs) are referring to AR15s as “assault rifles” or “assault weapons”. An assault weapon is defined as a rifle with select-fire capabilities. But anyways,
How do you guys feel about these companies now refusing to sell AR15 or “assault” style weapons? I know these large companies are probably more worried about revenue and how they are viewed by the public, and less worried about protecting/fighting for our 2nd amendment rights.
The way I see it (and this is just my personal perspective), stopping the sales of these rifles shows that they agree that the AR15 (and other similar platforms) is the reason that these mass shootings are happening... Almost like admitting guilt, like “Oh we don’t sell those guns, those guns are for school shootings and mass murders”.
It makes me feel like we’re just getting one step closer to a total ban. I live in California and my rights to own an AR15 are already as limited as humanly possible. I can either go featureless with a grip wrap blocking my thumb from wrapping the pistol grip, fixed stock, no flash hider, no forward grip , OR have some stupid contraption installed that makes my magazine fixed, forcing me to separate the upper and lower. But of course I’m totally in the clear to have detachable magazines on my Mini 14, which is damn near the exact same rifle and functions the exact same, minus some of these “assault” features as they define.
Does any of this concern you? Maybe I’m just one of those guys that’s over-worried, but I see that as a huge step towards a ban.
