Mossberg Cuts Ties With Dick's Sporting Goods — Releases a Savage Statement

In another blow to Dick's Sporting Goods, gun manufacturer Mossberg announced on Wednesday it will be cutting all ties with the outdoor store after it was revealed that it hired Washington, D.C.-based gun control lobbyists.

“Effective immediately, O.F. Mossberg & Sons will not accept any future orders from Dick's Sporting Goods or Field & Stream, and is in the process of evaluating current contractual agreements,” Mossbergwrote in its statement.

“It has come to our attention that Dick's Sporting Goods recently hired lobbyists on Capitol Hill to promote additional gun control.” Iver Mossberg, the chief executive officer of O.F. Mossberg & Sons, said. “Make no mistake, Mossberg is a staunch supporter of the U.S. Constitution and our Second Amendment rights, and we fully disagree with Dick's Sporting Goods' recent anti-Second Amendment actions.”
