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.

They’re only hiding “scary black rifles” in the back. They’ll still sell them, but they don’t want to offend the liberal public by putting them on display. Anyone offended by the sight of an AR-15 rifle, does not belong in the America in which I grew up.

Sad thing is, with the economy, Academy will hurt its employees and customers.
People can always buy ammo some other place. Good luck with that one, Academy.
Pay with cash!!
Another thing to add is that many large distributors and large chain sports stores that sold firearms worked with the BATF to elimate hobby and small out of home gun dealers. This was to elimate the competion. It worked because hundreds of hobby and small home gun shops did not renew their gun license. The main nail was the extra restrictions that they couldn’t afford.
They just built one nearby and I kind of liked it. Guess I won’t buy anymore ammo from them
You mean don’t buy anything from them. Asking people to not buy nothing is telling them to go and purchase something
Guess they will start losing business.
Good
