#3 At $500 a pop that's 10,000 rifles. It's estimated there are around 5,000,000 ARs in civilian hands, and I'm sure Ruger, S&W, Springfield Armory and a couple dozen other makers are ready to pick up the slack.

#6 "We're ahead of the curve, here at Dick's!
Up next, we'll be nixxing all sticks.
We're heeding your calls
To get rid of our balls,
And installing detectors for hicks!"

#10 Stack also admitted the Dick’s gun control stance has resulted in "a quarter of a billion [dollars]" in loses.

Hello, shareholders, feel free to ask the obvious questions now and at the next shareholders' meeting.
