Mossberg Joins Push to Cut Off Dick’s Gun Supply
Russ Chastain 05.10.18
In a recent post to their Facebook page, gunmaker O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. stated they will not accept any future orders from Dick’s Sporting Goods, due to that company hiring anti-gun lobbyists to campaign against our civil rights. They also choose not to deal with Field & Stream, a subsidiary of Dick’s. In this, they join Springfield Armory, who made a similar announcement recently.
Here’s the text of the post:
It has come to our attention that Dick’s Sporting Goods recently hired lobbyists on Capitol Hill to promote additional gun control. Make no mistake, Mossberg is a staunch supporter of the U.S. Constitution and our Second Amendment rights, and we fully disagree with Dick’s Sporting Goods’ recent anti-Second Amendment actions.
Effective immediately, Mossberg will not accept any future orders from Dick’s Sporting Goods or Field & Stream, and is in the process of evaluating current contractual agreements.

Want to buy some Mossbergs? That company offers a dealer locator:
Consumers are urged to visit one of the thousands of pro-Second Amendment firearm retailers to make their purchases of Mossberg and Maverick® firearms. Firearm retailers can be found through the Mossberg Dealer Locator by visiting http://www.mossberg.com/dealers/.
There are no words to adequately describe the utter moronitude of Dick’s decision to hire anti-gun lobbyists, and I’m glad to see they are experiencing severe backlash from it.
I for one respect Mossberg, and not just for this reason. They remain one of the only long-standing American gunmaking companies that hasn’t been bought up by a huge conglomerate.
Founded in 1919, O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. is the oldest family-owned firearms manufacturer in America, and is the largest pump-action shotgun manufacturer in the world. Leading the way with over 100 design and utility patents to its credit, and standing as the first ISO 9001 Certified long-gun manufacturer, Mossberg is considered to be one of the most innovative firearms manufacturers in U.S. History. For more information on commercial, special purpose, law enforcement and military shotguns, rifles and accessories, please visit their website at www.mossberg.com.
It’s only a matter of time until all reasonable gunmakers and ammo companies stop selling to companies like Dick’s — and good riddance, if you ask me.
