Ditching the NRA isn’t hurting Delta, United or any other companies MERGED (insurance, dollars)

I think some sad souls are no longer able to discern the difference between the NRA and the Second Amendment.

Are you really uninformed enough to believe that the 5 million plus members of the NRA are only concerned with "gun industry profits"? Out of the NRAs $250 million budget, only about $3 million even goes to lobbying.

I think the government has abused their power in this case.

The number of Delta fliers who bought tickets with NRA discount: Only 13

Delta Air Lines is reviewing all its fare-discount programs after dropping the National Rifle Association, which spurred Georgia to cancel tax break.

This is what Delta gets for allowing marketing to have such a knee jerk reaction. I'm notgonna cry for them

Remind me again - when was the last time we Americans showed any kind of strength that the Afghans have shown?

And while you're at it, try and think of things the government might do here that they're unable to do in other countries.

There you go again, being logical.



I think Delta’s choice was very reasonable, too.

I have no idea what they're concerned with.

Out of the NRAs $250 million budget, only about $3 million even goes to lobbying.

Amazing, what with Lapierre drawing a $5 million paycheck. Rubes will be fleeced. I guess the $54 million the NRA spent on the 2016 election doesn't count as lobbying. So be it. Consider that hair successfully split.

A surprising percentage of the body politic has a really hard time conceptualizing more than two sides in any debate.

Companies should remain neutral. More importantly, customers shouldn't receive discounts or other perks based on their affiliations.

Are they taking away benefits from AARP or AAA members?
