O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc., a leading American firearms manufacturer, will discontinue selling products to Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods, and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, in response to their hiring of gun control lobbyists in April 2018.<\/p>\n

Effective immediately, O.F. Mossberg & Sons will not accept any future orders from Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods or Field & Stream, and is in the process of evaluating current contractual agreements.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has come to our attention that Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods recently hired lobbyists on Capitol Hill to promote additional gun control,\u201d said Iver Mossberg, Chief Executive Officer of O.F. Mossberg & Sons. \u201cMake no mistake, Mossberg is a staunch supporter of the U.S. Constitution and our Second Amendment rights, and we fully disagree with Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods\u2019 recent anti-Second Amendment actions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consumers are urged to visit one of the thousands of pro-Second Amendment firearm retailers to make their purchases of Mossberg and Maverick\u00ae firearms. Firearm retailers can be found through the Mossberg Dealer Locator by visiting\u00a0http:\/\/www.mossberg.com\/dealers\/<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
