Thomas H. Stark sent a message to Edward W. Stack Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dicks Sporting Goods Email Address that said:
I am offended that a sporting goods store that I buy hunting supplies would validate the false narrative of the anti-gun lobby. I will cease shopping at your store and encourage friends and acquaintances until you reverse your position. You should know that the AR-15 or any semi-auto rifle is not uniquely dangerous. In fact, any room full of unarmed people without a means of escape, are at great risk to anyone with any firearm who is crazy enough to shoot. The real question is who is whispering in the ear of these crazy people? Is it you?
