Apparently not. I don't like their boot licking but I'll take their NRA discount.  -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

But yet they have no trouble selling Assault knives, Assault bats, Assault swim suits, and assault Golf clubs Way to have no idea what you are talking about | |||

They even went the extra mile to make a political point about "assault weapons" rather than leave it to be assumed. Fuck 'em. | |||

I read that they are not ending the NRA discount, which is nice of them, but I really don't think they need to take a position on civilian ownership of semi-automatic weapons. That pretty much tells me they support restricting my right to own one. | |||

That statement is just awful. They want to play both sides. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Great that FedEx will take anyone's money and not end the discount program for the NRA, but their political stance was gratuitous. Why does a giant corporation feel the need to express a viewpoint on a controversial political issue like that? What purpose does it serve? It makes me want to ask about their corporate stance on abortion, illegal immigration, pot legalization, etc. | |||

FedEx's opinion is their opinion, but it doesn't affect their business decisions whatsoever apparently, so what is y'all's beef?

When they donate money to political causes, which side do you think gets it? Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here. Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN "All I need is a WAR ON DRUGS reference and I got myself a police thread BINGO." -jljones | |||

Whose opinion is it? The CEO? The Board? THe Marketing Department? The Employees? Corporations don't have opinions. They have policies. If they are not articulating a policy, then what is the point of expressing the opinion thta will only piss off half of the population? | |||

Did you actually read FedEx' statement? Here, let me help you. It says, in part:

So don't give them your business. What can I tell you? They didn't bow to political pressure or alter their business practice, and that's what matters to me, at least in the here and now. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
We should start our own gun and sports store chain, put them up right by their stores, thinking a great name would be We're Not Dicks | |||

I don't think many people care about the NRA discount as much as they care about the ridiculous pro gun control statement preceding it. | |||

There's only so much I can do, but I did call Dick's main number and politely informed the person I spoke with why I would never give them my business. I also let them know I would tell others of the position they took today, and then I promptly started going through my contacts and letting people know. And maybe some of those I told will tell others and maybe the accumulative effect will hurt their bottom line if enough people do the same. I hope. CZ P10C and HK VP9 SK - Go Bucks! | |||

Dicks sells "assault weapons" ? Who knew ? | |||

We have both a Dick's and Field & Stream store here in Erie. I won't be shopping at either one again. I get the feeling that they'll both be going the way of neighboring Gander Mountain soon anyway. I assume that they plan on destroying their remaining stocks of "assault style rifles" and "high capacity magazines" since they are trying to "help solve the problem." ______________________________ "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein | |||
