Dick's Sporting Goods will stop selling guns at 440 additional stores this year, escalating the company's methodical elimination of firearms from its stores. The move follows a series of decisions at Dick's to scale back gun sales. A few days after the Parkland, Florida, school shooting in February 2018, the company announced it would stop selling semi-automatic weapons... Dick's (DKS) CEO Edward Stack told analysts in March 2019 that the company would treat gun control "as a multi-year initiative," and that he expected to remove guns from more stores in 2020. The company has been conducting a strategic review of its hunting business since the Parkland shooting. Dick's is the largest US sporting goods retailer, with 827 stores across the country. Walmart remains the world's largest gun retailer.
