\nSpringfield Armory issued a press release today saying that they will be severing all ties with Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods as well as their Field and Stream subsidiary. The move comes as a result of Dick\u2019s hiring anti-gun lobbyists to push for more gun control.<\/p>\n

I say more firearms companies need to do like Springfield Armory.<\/p>\n

From their release:

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nGENESEO, IL, (05\/03\/18) \u2013 Springfield Armory is severing ties with Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods and its <\/span><\/span> <\/span>subsidiary, Field & Stream, in response to their hiring a group for anti-Second Amendment <\/span> lobbying.<\/span><\/span>This latest action follows Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods\u2019 decision to remove and destroy all modern sporting rifles (MSR) from their inventory. In addition, they have denied Second Amendment <\/span> 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.<\/span><\/span>It is clear where Dick\u2019s 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 <\/span> runs counter to what we stand for as a company. At Springfield Armory, we believe in the right <\/span> and principles fought for and secured by American patriots and our founding forefathers, <\/span> without question. We will not accept Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods\u2019 continued attempts to deny <\/span> Second Amendment freedoms to our fellow Americans.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
