Dicks goes flaccid after new gun policy

Of course retailers always lie when talking about less than stellar results. They typically blame it on the weather. This time they're blaming it on Under Armour.

And after the CEO has managed to damage his own company, he's now giving advice to congress on how they should damage the country like he damaged DKS.

Wasn't it only like a few stores anyway where Dicks sold "assault style" weapons and most of there stores didn't sell them anyway? Like they wanted to get credit for something they had pretty much already done quietly and it backfired.
