CNN is so Helpful to Potential Gun Purchasers

[GURPS]

When Dick's Sporting Goods announced that it would no longer sell "assault-style rifles" at its Field & Stream stores (it had already stopped selling them at its main locations), CNN published an article targeting those stores who still sell the "assault-style rifles" and tweeted the piece out to its followers, many of whom will no doubt try to put pressure on the stores. Here's the tweet:

Who's still selling assault-style rifles?

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's are "likely the largest big box" retailers of modern sporting rifles, the industry's preferred term for assault rifles, now that Dick's has dropped out, according to Rommel Dionisio, a gun industry analyst for Aegis Capital.

Walmart (WMT) stopped selling modern sporting rifles in 2015 and on Wednesday said it was "raising the age restriction for purchase of firearms and ammunition to 21." But Gander Outdoors still offers the AR-556 on its web site, the model of gun used in a mass shooting at a Texas church last year. Gander did not immediately comment to CNNMoney.

The semiautomatic rifles are also still sold by prominent online retailers like Cheaperthandirt.com, Gunbroker.com and Hunterswarehouse.com. None of those companies returned messages from CNN.
