I quit buying from Dick's because of their changed stance after Sandy Hook and their horrible customer service after a sale on multiple occasions.
As far as Springfield: I used to live a stone's throw away from Springfield. Many times, I had them perform work on the guns I have of theirs. I have friends that personally know the Reese(sp) family. The whole lobby debacle is a black eye no matter how you see it. With that, I personally believe they didn't have ill intentions to turn their backs on the gun community. Their pattern of behavior and the positive contributions over the years leads me to believe their defense of the issue.
