But I also had a thought. If they were really concerned about any financial setbacks, why wouldn't they donate these guns to a law enforcement agency? Seems to me that would be less controversial than destroying them and could be used as a tax write off. Just another knee jerk reaction on their part.

Well sure....but that would be exercising logic. It would benefit both Law Enforcement and the company (Dicks). But that wasn't ever a consideration...because it wouldn't make a 'statement' (these guns are inherently evil) and appease the 'base' who think similarly.

"I said, 'You know what? If we really think these things should be off the street, we need to destroy them,'" he said.

Trouble with this statement is that in 99% of the cases they AREN'T ON THE STREET.

They are in law abiding person's homes for self defense.

They are in the field for various types of hunting.

There are at gun ranges for target practice and shooting sports.

They are in Police Cruisers for the purpose of protecting the public.

Etc....Etc........
