Dick’s Sporting Goods destroyed $5 million worth of guns after it made the decision to stop selling semi-automatic rifles in its stores, Edward Stack, the retailer’s CEO, revealed.
The sporting goods chain stopped selling assault-style weapons in its Dick’s locations after the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. But the company expanded that policy to its 35 Field & Stream stores in the wake of the 2018 shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
