List of companies "breaking ties" with NRA membership

Posted by David Hardy · 27 February 2018 03:56 PM

Here is the list I could compile--if anyone knows of additional companies, please add them. I say breaking ties with the membership because the ties consisted of discounts for members:

Allied Van Lines
Avis Car Rental
Budget Rent-A-Car
Chubb. Ltd (Carryguard insurance)
Delta Airlines
Enterprise Rent-A-Car
First National Bank of Omaha
Hertz Rent-A-Car
Lifelock (Stopped a promotion to NRA members, unclear if that was just a scheduled end or a response to pressure)
MetLife
North American Van Lines
Norton antivirus
Paramount Rx
SimplySafe home security
Starky Hearing (hearing aids)
TrueCar
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts

Good guy alert: FedEx announced it will continue its discount for members, that it doesn't care what political beliefs its customers have.

I don't do business with any of the above, except for the car rental companies... well, Dollar usually gives the best prices, anyway, so I'll just use them.

Legal issue: this is, of course, being driven by entities on social media (with some bots likely thrown in). Could this be tortious interference with contract?

They won't be getting any of my business. And hooray for the Georgia state senate. Delta's venture into anti-gun politics will cost them $40 million per year.

FedEx claims to care very much about our politics; from their press release:

FedEx Corporation’s positions on the issues of gun policy and safety differ from those of the National Rifle Association (NRA). FedEx opposes assault rifles being in the hands of civilians. While we strongly support the constitutional right of U.S. citizens to own firearms subject to appropriate background checks, FedEx views assault rifles and large capacity magazines as an inherent potential danger to schools, workplaces, and communities when such weapons are misused. We therefore support restricting them to the military. Most important, FedEx believes urgent action is required at the local, state, and Federal level to protect schools and students from incidents such as the horrific tragedy in Florida on February 14th.

FedEx is a common carrier under Federal law and therefore does not and will not deny service or discriminate against any legal entity regardless of their policy positions or political views. The NRA is one of hundreds of organizations in our alliances/association Marketing program whose members receive discounted rates for FedEx shipping. FedEx has never set or changed rates for any of our millions of customers around the world in response to their politics, beliefs or positions on issues.
