Earlier this week I heard about several companies that cut ties with the NRA. They caved to the left who
is totally taking advantage of the latest school shooting and upping their game on
gun control. A game it is, and the stakes are high.
When the left is mobilized, for whatever reason they create these “pressure campaigns” There is a Global advocacy/activist group called Avaaz.org, that poured on “pressure” to Best Western and Wyndam hotels after Sandy Hook, to sever ties with the NRA, and they succeeded.

I recently subscribed to a few Left leaning websites as to get an idea of what they are doing, and they are not going to let up. They most recently posted “Exclusive” FedEx’s secret deal with the NRA and the gun industry. From what I can tell it's just a list of businesses that are allowed to use 2 day shipping instead of overnight. (Oh my gosh, say it isn't so!!)
In 2016, a LGBTQ rights group started a “pressure” campaign against FedEx to pull ties with the NRA, but so far…have not been sucessful.They will continue to go after any businesses that deal in any way or give discounts to NRA members. To be honest, as a Lifetime NRA member, I don’t think I have ever taking advantage of any discounts offered. That is not why I became a member. I became a member after Sandy Hook, when left started with once again using the deaths of children to chip away at our Bill of Rights. I expect guns sales, and NRA memberships to increase over the next few months after the Florida shooting.
If you are a gun owner, and if we want to
stop this madness, we need to take a page from the Left’s books. We don’t need
to wear pink hats, stage walk outs,die in's or resort to calling names. We do need to
pay attention to who is pandering to the left. Which companies are making the
wrong choices, as well as which ones are making the right ones. I do believe in boycotts. Money and power, power and money. As individuals we cannot accomplish
a whole lot. But together, the like minded can move mountains.
This is a post of mine from a week ago,
“Alrighty then. So true to form, the left is taking advantage of this latest tragedy. It's part of their play book. They always demonize the NRA. And now the crazies and paid demonstrators want to "KILL THE NRA." So, I feel like talking about the NRA. The National Rifle Association is just that. It's an association made up of over 5 million people. People like me. Why do people like me join an association such as this? Because even though we do our best to vet the people that we put into office, trusting that they are going there...(the statehouse) or (DC) to uphold the Constitution and our Bill of Rights, many lose their souls when they take the oath of office. The NRA is our mouthpiece. They are not terrorists. They are made up of law abiding, peace loving, truck drivers, pastors, waitresses, janitors, factory workers, doctors, nurses, retail clerks, salesmen and women, firemen, police, military and yes, teachers. They go to work every day, take their kids to work and practice, volunteer in churches, soup kitchens, Girl and Boy Scouts, and in the schools. Many of us work more than one job, and don't have time to write our congress person every time a mentally unstable or a criminal goes on a killing spree. We are busy doing life. The NRA does what we don't always have time to do, watch our backs. I am the NRA.

When the left “pressures” businesses to cut
ties with the NRA, they are trying to punish people like me and you. Can you
imagine if just 20% of the 5 million NRA members boycotted one of these companies? They would be done. I think pandering to the left would stop. Maybe businesses would just
do business and stay out of politics. We won’t know unless we try. As it is now they are
not gonna stop.
The List of Businesses that severed ties with the NRA:
True Car, Hertz, Avis, Budget Rental Car, Enterprise, Alamo (thank
goodness for UBER),National, Best Western, Wyndham hotels, LifeLock (that is disappointing)
Wild Apricot, Teladoc, Republic Bank, Securian Financial Group, Delta Airlines,
United Airlines, Norton, First National Bank of Omaha is pulling the NRA Visa
card, Allied Van Lines and North American Van Lines, Symantec, Starkey Hearing
Technologies, SimpliSafe (super bummed about this one, it was on the list to
get), Paramount Rx, Metlife, Republic Bank, Vinesse Wines, Chubb, Lockton.
Imagine what we could do if we paid attention to where we
spend our money.
