Hopefully every firearm related company will blacklist Dick's regardless of their product. It's time for a major example to be made of those who do the wrong thing.
It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.

The Field and Stream store, owned by Dick's, sells handguns too... so no more Springfield XDS line, or 1911s. Maybe other manufacturers will follow their lead.
Dicks also sells handguns at least at two that I know of. One is at the Parks mall in Arlington and the other one is in Cedar Hill.
The Dicks in Flower Mound sells handguns too.
Let them eat the price of those too. The manufacturers out to refuse to allow Dicks to return guns to them, and then have nobody buy them.

When will Dicks issue a groveling, inadequate 'mea culpa'?

I think they should, but firearms manufacturers blacklisting gun-controlling customers, especially state governments, are running a risk. The more manufacturers that participate, the more likely it is that some state attorney general will sue, alleging an anti-trust conspiracy. That could turn out to be cripplingly expensive irrespective of the outcome. Anti-trust is not my area, but my guess is that the outcome is not guaranteed.
They can try but unless they could show collusion on the part of the manufacturers it would be DOA.

At the NRA show I stopped in the Inceptor Ammo booth and talked to a rep. Didn't know that they made the bullets for NovX ammo. Thought I'd buy some range and carry ammo to try out. Went to the Inceptor website, checked for local dealers - Dick's. Nope, won't be buying any of the Inceptor Ammo. I sent an email to them stating I couldn't do purchase their ammo as long as they sell through Dick's, even though there are other places to buy it.

Firearms, ammunition and accessories manufacturers must stand together against the likes of Dick's.

Collusion or anti-trust concerns? Ha....you mean like all the collusion going on with banks, credit card companies and governments to remove the right to keep and bear arms?
