Shawn Bishop sent a message to Edward W. Stack Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dicks Sporting Goods Email Address that said:
You just lost a long time customer. The gun did not kill anyone. A criminal did. The gun he used is no different from any other semi automatic rifle. There are many non "Assault Rifles" that are much more deadlier. I know, I was a Marine during the Gulf War. You actions will accomplish nothing to help the real cause, which is a lack of morals and ignoring the mental health issues many in this country face. Shame on you for placing the blame on an inanimate object. By the same logic, cars should be banned whenever a drunk drive kills someone. After all, without the car, the accident would not have happened, right?
