Dianna provided a great counter-point to Stack and Bloomberg. It should be noted that Stack is pushing his new book, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2LQnQ0b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">It&#8217;s How We Plan the Game<\/a><\/em>, which is being published by another division of the company that owns CBS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there was this quote that must have executives with NSSF thinking someone is finally getting the language right:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p> The &#8220;it&#8221; he&#8217;s talking about is the AR-15, <strong>a lightweight semi-automatic modern sporting rifle<\/strong> similar to the one used in the Sandy Hook massacre. He ordered all of them be removed from every Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods store across the country. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>While Cowan did link it to the Newtown murders, he didn&#8217;t call it an &#8220;assault weapon&#8221; or &#8220;assault rifle&#8221;. That in and of itself is remarkable nowadays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His interview with Dianna was quite good. As you can see if you watch the video, it included footage of her shooting as well as other women from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agirlandagun.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Girl and A Gun<\/a> at an event in Kentucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked why she has an AR-15, she said this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p> Muller has become a high-profile spokesperson for the gun rights movement. She&#8217;s testified on Capitol Hill about carrying a firearm, specifically an AR-15. \u00a0<\/p><p><br>That&#8217;s the very rifle that Dick&#8217;s is no longer selling.<\/p><p><br>Cowan asked, &#8220;Is it a fair question to ask why you need a gun like that?&#8221;<\/p><p><br>&#8220;No,&#8221; Muller replied.<\/p><p><br>&#8220;Because?<\/p><p><br>&#8220;This rifle, and any other rifle, kills fewer people than hammers and blunt objects every year, according to FBI statistics,&#8221; she said, &#8220;so it doesn&#8217;t make any sense to me that this is going to solve the problem that we are having.&#8221;<\/p><p><br>Her worry is the same that the National Rifle Association has voiced for a long time: if one gun like the AR-15 is demonized, then all guns may soon follow.<\/p><p><br>&#8220;It leads me to believe that there&#8217;s going to be another tragedy with a different gun, that they&#8217;re going to come after the next gun,&#8221; she said.<\/p><p><br>&#8220;This is the slippery slope?&#8221; Cowan asked.<\/p><p><br>&#8220;Until it&#8217;s all gone.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The story ends with Stack being somewhat coy about his future plans for firearm sales at DICK&#8217;S. He said it was under &#8220;strategic review.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/2019\/10\/04\/dicks-to-sell-8-field-stream-stores.html\">As I noted on Friday<\/a>, his company is selling eight of their Field &amp; Stream stores to Sportsman&#8217;s Warehouse. I would not be surprised to see the remainder either sold or shut down. <\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When CBS Sunday Morning was announcing their stories this morning, I must admit I rolled my eyes when I&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":3,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[168,1915,446,574,575,203,4836],"class_list":["post-12199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-ar-15","tag-cbs-sunday-morning","tag-dianna-muller","tag-dicks-sporting-goods","tag-ed-stack","tag-michael-bloomberg","tag-modern-sporting-rifle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12199"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12199\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12201,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12199\/revisions\/12201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
