BREAKING NEWS: Mike Bloomberg Loves Dick’s
The embattled retailer seems to have slid right into Everytown For Gun Safety with ease.
Today, in “how the Hell did I miss this when it first happened” news, we have the following information, courtesy of Breitbart: Apparently Dick’s Sporting Goods Richard Stack has joined Everytown Business Leaders For Gun Safety. As you probably already know, EBLFGS is a subsidiary of Everytown For Gun Safety, which is former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg’s Astroturf organization that pushes gun control. And now Dick’s is shoving itself right in there dry…and Bloomberg can’t get enough of it!
As you no doubt remember, a little over a year ago some greasy doorknob decided that he’d like to get famous by shooting up the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida. From that moment, Dick’s has been just dripping with desire to drive as many gun owners away from their doors as possible. It’s working: The company lost $150 million in 2018 alone, as their sales went soft and flaccid without sportsmen to help hold them up.
Although Dick’s drooping sales numbers and share prices continue to decorate their shareholder reports like so many suspicious blisters, it seems that CEO Dick Stack is enjoying the warm, moist welcome of Bloomberg. According to this article from CNBC.com:
“In fact, Stack is doing even more to get behind his company’s efforts last year. He, along with a handful of other CEOs, on Monday signed onto a letter sent to Congress in support of the HR8 background check bill. Background checks are something ‘both sides of the aisle can get behind it [SIC],’ Stack said.”
I don’t know about you, dear GGD readers, but I personally hope Dick’s stays well away from my behind…although Bloomberg seems to have no such qualms. After all, there’s no gun control measure that Bloomberg doesn’t love. So given that Dick’s has removed and destroyed all of their modern sporting rifles, raised the age for purchasing long guns from 18 to 21, and then had its CEO sign off on a bill that would criminalize all private sales, I think it’s fair to say that Mike Bloomberg is loving Dick’s right now.
Will Bloomberg’s anti-gun group continue to welcome Dick’s into its warm folds? Almost certainly, as long as Dick’s stands up against the Second Amendment. Will Bloomberg continue to swallow Dick’s rhetoric…the mark of true love? We’re betting yes!
Made a special trip to my local Dick’s in south Florida. Needed some scope rings, ammo, arrows and a BB pistol. The whole corner was gone, everything, full of fishing stuff. Have to go to Bass pro Shopps.
Maybe we should reopen the mental facilities and the shooting will stop. It is the ducky’s not the guns
Bloomer loves DICK, he should buy stocks in Trojans condoms. But seriously, why all this billionaires want to disarm the public while they are surrounded by armed guards to protected them from crime and deny us the same right? Are they afraid of the common people or are they closet fascists wanting to come out to impose their will on us?
Apparently, Bloomberg does not know that Dick’s Sporting Goods and Field & Stream stores are under the same parent company. Field & Stream sells a lot of guns in upstate NY with the Dick’s Store sharing space with them. I shop in Field & Stream for guns and ammo and ignore the other half.
The CEOs supporting HR8 are from Dick’s, TOMS shoes, RXR Realty, and Levi Strauss. Make your shopping plans accordingly.
Why do you think it’s called Dick’s
I thought it had been renamed ‘PUSSYS”!
We have one of their stores near my house and another a little farther away that I don’t even bother going into. The prices are ridiculously high. I purchased a few things in the past, but unless it’s on sale or marked down, the price is usually higher than Academy Sports or Walmart or many of the numerous online vendors for camping, hunting and survival gear.
A side note is they used to have a large section of knives, but reduced it to a pitiful selection and put them in an odd spot. For such a big expensive store, they don’t carry much, selection is poor and I see a dismal future. It’s a store for rich snobs to “dress up” and pose as outdoorsy or athletic people.
BREAKING NEWS: Mike Bloomberg Loves Dick’s!! What more can be said about two losers……
Yes ,the billionaire loves to hide undercover to undermine our rights. George soros is another creep with millions.
It is not often that one gets to watch a retail company commit seppuku (suicide by disembowelment) for all to see. When dick’s first announced their gun policy I was at first confused. My first thought was, “What will their investors think?” Then I realized that dick’s is a family owned corporation so they can do whatever the please with their money.
I expect when they go into Chapter 7 bankruptcy an investor will be found who will buy up the company’s assets and return dick’s to a profitable operation..
Every should go shopping at Dicks. Don’t buy anything. Just make lists of all the gun and ammo and accessories manufactures still supplying them. Them go home with your money still in your pocket and write every manufacturer an email. You know what to say. They need to know we mean business, and to support the 2nd, not communists. Take some nausea tablets with you so you don’t throw up just being in the store.
Happy Trails… May the good Lord take a liking to you.

As soon as Dick’s came out against the 2nd Amendment, I quit going there. Not to buy, but just to look. But no more. The same with with REI. No more.
There name says it all
Every firearms mfg, ammo mfg should after contract terms have been met should cease and desist any further business with Dicks or anyone else in league with Everytown gun grabbers…..
I’m not surprised since Bloomberg is a dick.
I used to spend quite a bit at Dick’s. Guns, ammo, hunting gear, fishing gear, boating gear, camping equipment,
cross bow and clothing. Not to mention gifts for family and friends. Oh well, other businesses want me if they don’t. Let them drown.
I used to buy a lot of sporting goods for our family at Dick’s. And with 3 kids in multiple sports, that meant hundreds per child annually and plenty more for my hunting gear. Even bought a couple of firearms. Since they were the first store to bend over for unreasonable restrictions on my freedoms, I now go to Scheels for my family’s sporting goods. Wouldn’t bother me if Dick’s went under and paid the price for collaboration. That’s what you get.
Maybe our ammo companies should stop supplying DICKS. Might be something I will look into as to what ammo I will boycot
Thank you for cracking me up so early in the morning. I very much enjoyed reading your article and will share it with my Patriotic colleagues today.
everyone should remeber that dicks owns golf galaxy
I wonder how many of DICK’s stores will close due to liberal gun grabbers
lack of support for their position, and NOT shopping there?
BTW: Does Bloomberg have armed security?
I used to spend about $100 a week in Dick’s on clothing to ammunition. I have even purchased a gun safe to safety store firearms and ammunition. I don’t even go in anymore.
All demonRATS love Dicks. It’s one of the main identifiers of the regressive communist party. Male or female, they all flock to Dicks.
I always knew Bloomberg loved dicks, he’s such a p***y.
Dick’s Sporting Goods has sold out to the Bogus Bloomberg Gun Take Away Gang! Shame on all of them. Dick’s has become Dork’s to me and they are off my list of Sporting Goods Store to shop in.
always knew there was something off about bloomberg…now we know!
LOL! Great article and another reason for all Patriots to boycott this Un American company.
