Susan C. Reeder, Ph.D. sent a message to Edward W. Stack Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dicks Sporting Goods Email Address that said:
Thank you for your decision to change your stance on selling assault weapons, large capacity magazines and to raise the age for purchase to 21. My 19 year old brother was shot and killed in 1972. It was not an assault, it was a group of late teens taking a karate class from a 22 year old “instructor” and learning to take a weapon away from an assailant. On impulse they decided to put a bullet in one chamber and spin it. My brother was the first to try and was shop in front of his friends. He died two weeks later on my birthday, I was 16.
Your actions this week will prevent this from happening to some other family. Thank you.
Sincerely
Susan C. Reeder, Ph.D.
