Sharon Jones sent a message to Edward W. Stack Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dicks Sporting Goods Email Address that said:
I want to thank you for removing assault rifles from your sporting goods store. I stopped going into stores that sold guns well over a decade ago. It was frustrating as I had always purchased running shoes at your store. This isnt a complete removal of guns but a step in the right direction. I am so grateful that you have been willing to be on the vanguard of responsible behavior for the safety of our children that I went in and purchased a pair of shoes and a jacket. I understand that these assault rifles cost 1200 and up. In partial recompense for your action, I will return to buying my shoes at your store. In addition, I will donate as many gift certificates that I can afford each year for kids with limited resources to be able to purchase sport shoes of their choice. I doubt I will be able to afford 1200 dollars per year but will attempt approach that investment. Anyone who will put their values before profit deserves this degree of consumer dedication. Thank you, Sharon.
