Dick’s Sporting Goods Just Made a Major Move Every One Should Know
The mass school shooting on February 14 in Parkland, Florida has a lot of people not backing down this time when it comes to gun laws.
On Wednesday Dick’s Sporting Goods made a really big announcement. They announced that they would no longer sell assault-style rifles and raise the minimum age to purchase a firearm to the age of 21. This is such a huge move on their part. Since this is such a big company it shows the rest of the world that they stand by these kids and they will support in any way possible. Walmart also announced shortly after that they would also be raising their age to purchase firearms to 21.
But thoughts and prayers are not enough. We have to help solve the problem that’s in front of us. Gun violence is an epidemic that’s taking the lives of too many people, including the brightest hope for the future of America – our kids. https://t.co/J4OcB6XJnupic.twitter.com/6VoKwJe8tH
