In a press release, Springfield Armory announced they are cutting ties with Dick's Sporting Goods "in response to their hiring a group for anti-2[SUP]nd[/SUP] Amendment lobbying."
SA's statement said, in part, "It is clear where Dick's Sporting Goods ... stand[s] on the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] Amendment, and we want to be clear about our message in response. Their position runs counter to what we stand for as a company. At Springfield Armory, we believe in the right and principles fought for and secured by American patriots and our founding forefathers, without question. We will not accept Dick's Sporting Goods' continued attempts to deny 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] Amendment freedoms to our fellow Americans."
With things heating up in the gun-control realm, I encourage you to follow Springfield Armory's lead. Speak up. Call and write your representatives and senators and tell them where you stand. Tell them your 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] Amendment rights are not up for debate or compromise.
