I think we need a running list of companies that are joining the NRA boycott wagon so we can avoid them. Many companies are responding to a twitter campaign threatening to boycott them for their partnership with the NRA. As you may or may not know a twitter campaign can appear to damage a company because the number of "people" twittering their stances, however often these tweets are done by BOT's not humans to artificially skew the numbers. I will list the companies I'm aware of at the time being.

  1. National Bank of Omaha they handled the NRA credit cards
  2. Enterprise Holdings which includes the rental car CO's Enterprise, National and Alamo
  3. MetLife will no longer offer discounts to NRA members.
  4. Best Western will no longer offer discounts to NRA members
  5. Wyndham Hotels will no longer offer discounts to NRA members.
  6. Symantec likewise announced it would end NRA discounts on its identity theft protection service and Norton anti-virus software.
 
  • Simplisafe
  • Hertz (which also owns Thrifty and Dollar)
  • First National Bank
  • Delta
  • United

This list saddens me, as I bank with First National, fly on Delta, have my dental insurance through MetLife, and rent cars from Hertz. If Marriott joins this list, I'm going to have to change everything...

"I think we need a running list of companies that are joining the NRA boycott wagon so we can avoid them."

I like the idea and the list.

What about the next step, a list of the companies who have and are still supporters of the NRA so we can support them?

Bet he doesnt drop the sponsor.
Well I'll give him some time to respond to my email. If he decided to not allow them to sponsor he would have to wait for a contract to expire either way.
 
Starbucks: we are welcome to buy their lousy and expensive coffee but keep your firearms out of their store.

That's true.
But, again, he wont drop a sponsor.
 
Outback & kangaroo express (at least the one by me has a gun buster sign), red collection although the sign is inside the store not on the door.

True but we do have a post for gun Busters somewhere already. Though it,'s certainly fine to post that here no problems but my aim was the companies joining the ban wagon on the NRA and similar organizations. But we can keep track of the gun busters here too.
 
Lol... Y'all be better off making a list the other way around it would be shorter... I don't have the time, energy, or desire to boycott places because they don't give the NRA a discount...

Agree to a point. But at some point we have to stop giving money to people and groups that are anti-freedom. Occasionally it makes life inconvenient, but the only thing these people and companies understand is money and power. So outside of becoming some violent felon, money is our leverage. My kids and wife give me crap for not going to movie theaters, and not allowing Ben & Jerry's and other such crap in my home, but without becoming a violent wacko it is what I can do right now.

Yeah? So you don't buy anything from Amazon? Ebay? Use PayPal? How about watching YouTube? What operating system you using on that computer? What do you drive? Got an iPhone? What are you watching on TV? Like good food? Music?

See where I'm going with this? It's a lot of posturing. In this day and age it's simply not possible to avoid all the folks who don't agree with you unless you live alone in a cabin in Montana(and even then I doubt it). It's also not productive. If someone is going out of their way to impose on you, by all means don't do business with them, but when you pick and choose some things and not others it's hollow; especially over something as petty as discounts on rental cars. When Enterprise gives the DNC a discount and jacks the rate for Repubs and Libertarians I'll consider the argument valid. Until then, it's just business.

I'm not pretending to have the answers, but I try to get along with all but the most extreme(from both sides). It's a much less stressful life and a lot more fun.

I'm not trying to pick a fight or call anyone out. We're all human and hypocrites by nature. We see what we want to see and ignore others from convenience of our pedestals. I don't fault you for your compromises and hopefully you won't judge me for mine...

Absoluely, never said you can avoid them all. Pick what works for you. But at the core doing business with people that hate you, and want you gone is at some point a losing proposition. I am under no allusions that my piddly little purchases will have any impact. But if enough people stick to their beliefs it would make some difference. I also think it is sort of a common sense thing. If I am a Pro Life woman I am not buying my birth control or health services from Planned Parenthood. Even if it costs me a little more elsewhere. So for me when I have the opportunity to spend money with business's that more closely match my beliefs, and aren't totally evil to the core I go that route. So Ben & Jerry are not welcome at my house. I don't care how good their ice cream may be. And movie theaters are easy to avoid. Restaurants with crappy policies are not a problem. Plenty of choices out there. And Heinz isn't the only catsup either.

You're over reacting, of course you can't avoid everything. the whole point is SOMETIMES you do have choices, and this playing both sides things never works you end up getting mad at everything. Until the dems stop trying to socialize everything and giving my money to others, and stop going after my freedoms my tolerance for them is 0

I disagree. If I'm over reacting, so are you. The rental car companies didn't post gunbusters or stop renting to the NRA. They simply dropped a discount. Your picking and choosing. The left is notorious for it and I find our "side" has started becoming more adept at it as well. It's also hypocritical to boycott some things and say 'Merica, then not boycott others that are just as bad or worse politically and say, I didn't have a choice or just ignore it because it's not realistic. If you only play sides when it's convenient it's not character, it's reputation... We all know the John Wooden quote... It's a matter of integrity. And by no means am I calling yours into question. So, please don't take it that way. Just throwing out a concept for people who may otherwise get swept up...

You're being purposefully disingenuous; the people here that don't support the NRA generally view the NRA as not stalwart enough in defense of 2A rights, and I sincerely doubt that is why these companies are suddenly ending discounts.
 
Warren Buffett told CNBC this morning he believes companies should not try to push managements' personal agendas through corporate policy. In other words, these companies have no business doing what they're doing. Will be interesting to see whether managements pay attention.
