GENESEO, IL, (05/03/18) – Springfield Armory is severing ties with Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, in response to their hiring a group for anti-Second Amendment lobbying.

This latest action follows Dick’s Sporting Goods’ decision to remove and destroy all modern sporting rifles (MSR) from their inventory. In addition, they have denied Second Amendment rights to Americans under the age of 21. We at Springfield Armory believe that all law abiding American citizens of adult age are guaranteed this sacred right under our Constitution.

It is clear where Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, stand on the Second Amendment, and we want to be clear about our message in response. Their position runs counter to what we stand for as a company. At Springfield Armory, we believe in the right and principles fought for and secured by American patriots and our founding forefathers, without question. We will not accept Dick’s Sporting Goods’ continued attempts to deny Second Amendment freedoms to our fellow Americans.

Might need to buy another XD or that M1A now!

Didn’t they have their own anti gun lobbyist in Illinois?  They were up to some of there own shenanigans not too long ago. I wont ever buy another Springfield.

Dupe

Triple dupe. Posted over in the M1/M1A forum as well.

Yes they did. They pulled a Bill Ruger on the American gun owner & I too won't be buying any more Springfields.

If Springfield sent me a lowly mil-spec 1911 then I may be willing to forget that weird anti gun that they supported by mistake!

Dick's stock tanked at the beginning of the year.
Their whole MSR thing was merely a marketing ploy.

Dick's whole operation was so much better when they had 25 stores.

I have a Dicks down the street from me looks like a ghost town lately.

Yup

Going to take some time before I give them a dollar. A PR stunt ain't going to change my mind .
