After Dick’s, Only One Major Retailer Is Still Selling Semi-Automatic Rifles

"Dick’s Sporting Goods announced on Wednesday that it would stop selling assault-style rifles in all of its stores, a direct reaction to the Feb. 14 high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 dead.

The move leaves just one major retailer standing alone in continuing to sell the semi-automatic rifles commonly used in mass shootings: Bass Pro Shops, which now includes Cabela’s, a competitor it purchased last year."

Finished watching, some notes:

Sales at gun shows, over the internet, not subject to background checks.

18 to 21 - seems to favor raising the age, same arguments made here, doesn't make sense you can get an AR-15 at 18

Takes guns away, whether they had right or not. Take firearms first, then go to court. Getting big push back on this

Said none of these 14 mass shooting since Columbine would have happened if we had more offensive power = nonsense since suicidal, people with mental issues don't care

Better secure schools - of course

Video games, movies, internet stuff nonsense again - rating system etc. they already have ratings

Trump: NRA has great power over you people, they have less power over me. Some of you people are petrified of the NRA

Pointed out correctly how these type of things get in the news, then get out of the news and nothing ever gets done

So some credit to Trump, if he follows thru.

I disagree with arming teachers, blaming video games, movies etc., thinking these mass shootings wouldn't happen if the good people had more offensive power, see above

Agree with raising age, background checks, closing loopholes, securing schools etc.

Take firearms first, then go to court - that's going to be a problem. I think we can maybe streamline this somehow.

I'm sure the NRA isn't too happy after this.

Now some reaction

Trump says Florida police should have taken away the Stoneman Douglas shooter's guns "whether they had the right or not."
-----------
WATCH: President Trump asks Sen. Toomey if his bill addresses age limits on firearm purchases.

Sen. Toomey: "We didn't address it, Mr. President."

President: Trump: "You know why? Because you're afraid of the NRA."
-----------
LOL, he just said take the guns first, and then let the courts take action. 2nd amendment warriors heads are exploding.
-----------
Trump seems unaware of the Senate GOP leadership's negotiating position, which has been just to pass Fix NICS first. He asks Cornyn if they could merge Fix NICS to background checks -- something Cornyn has been pouring cold water on for days
-----------
GOP Senate aide tells me after Trump meeting: “It feels very much like nobody briefed the President before this meeting, which ended up being a grab-bag of Democrat priorities, instead of an effort to bring people together on proposals that actually have momentum."
-----------
Toomey says he's not worried Trump will change his position and ultimately oppose Manchin-Toomey. "I'm not worried about him changing his position on the substance of our bill. I don't think he was familiar enough with our bill to say I hereby endorse this particular legislation"
-----------
GOP Sen. Sasse whacks Trump over guns: “Strong leaders don't automatically agree with the last thing that was said to them... We're not ditching any Constitutional protections simply because the last person the president talked to today doesn’t like them.”
-----------
NRA on Trump meeting: Great TV, but 'bad policy'

EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s Facebook Engagement Declined By 45 Percent Following Algorithm Change
Engagement on Donald Trump’s Facebook posts has dropped by approximately 45 percent since the platform introduced a new algorithm change, following a year of pressure from left-wing employees and the mainstream media for “allowing” the President to win the 2016 general election.
In January, Facebook introduced a major change to its newsfeed algorithm. In a post, CEO Mark Zuckerberg claimed that the change aimed to give greater emphasis to posts from “friends, family and groups” and less to “businesses, brands and media.” The change was followed by a promise to promote what Facebook calls “broadly trusted” news sources on the platform.

Sabo said it: f$ck zuck. He represents the dangerous tribe of silicon valley. A narcissist who I find no value in anything he says, no interest in what his business has done (control), his spying and the amount of time wasting people lose in using his product. It has walled off a segment of people from normal web use on regular websites, propagandized the world and does not believe in free speech. He also believes in the Bernie Sanders every-thing-should-be-free, so if he believed in his own b.s. he should simply give away free advertising too. I get FB video links from people, I cant View or open that are guarded behind their walls. I mean even Youtube at least doesnt require signing in. Yet.

I hate to say this, but the industry needs some Bill Gates like asshole to come along and make the FANG compete , fresh money and new blood or more open source catching on. Maybe Soros even, lol.

Unbelievable world we live in. $180,000 windfall. They really could have got a better deal if they instead went to Germany and got a free house, had 6 kids each with free education, food stamps. At least Austria and Denmark passed laws against this scarf thing.

“We did our best to establish good precedent,” said Aboushi, noting several religions have headwear requirements.”

Set the new $$$$$$ bar for settlements, next shop lifting or theft they will even collect more.

This is pure stupidity. Companies giving into pressure from liberal activist. When they actaully have to take a stand in their own interest that conflicts with ThinkProgress, they will reget it.

Should have learned the lesson from Chick-fil-A. Don't cave and the general population will reward you. Give in once to liberal jakals and they'll demand more.
