The pressure to conform to the left’s crusade against guns is starting to get to sporting goods retailers, who are beginning to tow their anti-Second Amendment line.
An anonymous source online who purports to work for Academy Sports and Outdoors claims that the company is starting to collect personal information and data on customers who purchase more than 10 boxes of what is referred to as “assault rifle caliber” ammunition. Whether Academy Sports is just collecting this info for it’s own purposes (a highly unlikely case) or plans to pass this data onto the federal government, the source couldn’t confirm.
He did say, however, that in addition to creating a database of people who buy so-called “assault rifle” ammo, the company’s management is directing stores to pull even items that vaguely resemble sporting rifles from shelves. Thus, airsoft guns, rifle-shaped BBQ lighters, and other non-lethal products are all slated to be removed.

Good thye will know where not to come take guns now, lolI just bought a bunch from there, stocking up for home grown terriost,
What a lame, BS story. “Someone who purports to work for Academy…” Really? This is not better than the factless c**p the left publishes. Any one call Academy about this? I was at a story just yesterday, and I saw no changes in their firearms department. They’ve always been more restrictive about customers handling guns than the gunshops I know, but that’s it. As to customer sales records, EVERYONE does that now, so that they can target you with ads for products you’ve bought before. I actually find that helpful most of the time.
As to removing AR15’s from the shelves…it is CUSTOMERS doing that, and transferring them to their own homes, in order to beat the latest left wing gun grab, or in some cases probably hoping to make a big profit later, if a ban of those rifles happens. I thought about it myself, but I don’t like to take advantage. Want an AR? Get it now.
Cowardly Bastards.
Never heard of them, but won’t shop there anyway
ITS SIMPLE…..BOYCOTT ACADEMY SPORTS!
Typical short-sighted left-wing move, ALIENATE your main customer base……
They don’t know what to do, they’re just grasping at straws thinking it’ll help, but they have no idea what they’re doing.
I’m going by my local Academy today after work and see for myself . And if it’s true .They lost my business..
Boycott! !
