Dick’s Sporting Goods CEO Ed Stack said the company destroyed approximately $5 million worth of so-called “assault-style” rifles after the company changed its firearm policies and stopped selling the guns.
Stack said that Dick’s removed AR-15s from its stores after the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut but after the shooting at Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in early 2018, he felt it was time to do more.
