Lion Heart 15,041 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 -FedEx has not cut ties with the National Rifle Association despite boycott threats and pressure from gun-control activists, nor publicly commented on its continuation of a discount program for members of the gun-rights organization. -More than a dozen companies have cut ties with the NRA following an online boycott campaign. As brands increasingly cut ties with the National Rifle Association, one notable company is holding out. Last week, in the wake of the shooting at a Florida high school that left 17 people dead, people on social media pressured companies that offer special deals to NRA members to cut ties with the gun-rights organization. While companies including United, Hertz, and MetLife have done so, FedEx, which offers NRA members discounts of up to 26% on shipping packages, has not. Now, gun-control activists are doubling down on their efforts. "So how else should we pressure @FedEx to end their relationship with the NRA?" tweeted David Hogg, a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who has since emerged as a leading voice on gun control. The company's social-media accounts have been flooded with boycott threats. FedEx responded to boycott threats in on Monday afternoon, in a statement saying it would continue to offer members of the gun-rights group discounts. http://www.businessinsider.com/fedex-refuses-to-cut-ties-with-nra-2018-2 ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALGAYDO 35,628 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I love us Gen Y and Gen X people. We literally got major companies to cut all ties with the NRA based on our social media presence. Now we just gotta either start a boycott or just have massive amounts of people filing complaints towards any given corporation and they’ll buckle at their knees to give us what we want so long as it doesn’t severely impact their flow of income. And it looks like FedEx is next 👀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13VictorC 1,105 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Why do NRA members get shipping discounts in the first place? What's up with this cult of gun owners? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's up with this cult of gun owners? No kidding. Do vets even get as good as a discount? The scary point is that the NRA has deep roots in this country. They aren’t just a pro gun group. They control the country systemically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
