Academy Sports and Outdoors released a statement suggesting that it complies with the law and won’t be changing any of its policies as it relates to the sell of firearms or ammunition:
“We serve a broad base of customers, and outdoor sports, including hunting and shooting sports, are an important tradition and recreational activity for many of our customers and their families. We are strongly committed to ensuring the legal, safe and responsible transfer of firearms. We follow all applicable regulations relating to the sale of firearms and regularly review our internal policies and processes to ensure our legal and responsible sale of firearms and encourage safe usage and ownership. As a Federal Firearms Licensee, we support the Fix NICS Bill to strengthen the background check system and require greater compliance with the law.”
Academy is a big chain of stores and I’m glad to see they aren’t bowing to the pressure from the left. I’ve certainly bought lots of ammunition from them, as their prices are good and their shipping is free if you buy enough, so this is a welcome statement.
