As it stands today, the "neveragain" movement has more followers than the NRA. Thank you snake-tongued Dana Loesch for showing America that the NRA doesn't give a damn about our youth or that people are being slaughtered in public places (58 killed in Las Vegas shooting).

But remember, it's millennials who should feel bad about acting entitled.

Delta told the members if the NRA to buy their tickets on the same terms as everybody else, and conservatives whine that they're being punished? Nobody can whine about victimization like a US conservative losing an unearned privilege.

It was a business decision. I thought conservatives love businesses?

MN will welcome Delta with open arms and will respect Delta's right to free speech.

How are they punishing NRA members? By having them pay the same rate as everyone else?

Atlanta airport is a nightmare anyway. Delta would do better moving its hub.

I think the Lt Governor is running for Governor in 2018.

Atlanta was in the running for Amazon's 2nd HQ. There's a good chance that they just lost out because Amazon likely doesn't want to deal with a political climate which kowtows to the NRA .

GA leaders would be better off just taking care of what they should...like keeping the lights on at their Atlanta airport!

So according to conservative logic, you cannot force a business to bake a cake for gays but you can force a business to give disconnects to NRA members? Just wow.
