    Dick's Sporting Goods pulled assault-style rifles after Sandy Hook, too. It didn't last.https://usat.ly/2EWUSKi

        They stated after Sandy Hook it was temporary, this is different and if they walk it back they will be held accountable.

        Honestly, no idea how they pulled it off then or what distracted the public from it. Situations like that are where the media drops the ball depending on the flavour of the day and its difficult to stay on top of without a steady news ticker tape updating constantly.

        This title is extremely misleading. Pretty sure stores branded “Dick’s” did in fact stop selling ARs. They never said Field and Stream was going to stop selling em until today.
