NRA to companies: ‘loss of a discount’ won’t scare members

The National Rifle Association called corporations breaking partnerships with the gun lobby a “shameful display of political and civic cowardice.”
“Let it be absolutely clear. The loss of a discount will neither scare nor distract one single NRA member from our mission to stand and defend the individual freedoms that have always made America the greatest nation in the world,” the organization said in a statement on Saturday.
With a national force deriding the organization’s stance on gun control policies following the deadly Florida school shooting, activists turned their focus on the companies that do business with the gun lobby. About two dozen brands so far have ended partnerships in which they offered discounted rates and services to NRA members.
In most cases, the companies said they chose to cut ties because of customer feedback. According to ThinkProgress, which has been maintaining a list of NRA’s corporate ties, report those that discontinued relationships include:

airlines Delta and United;
car rental companies Enterprise Holdings (Enterprise, Alamo, and National) and Avis Budget Group (Avis, Budget, and Hertz);
software services Symantic (Norton anti-virus and LifeLock), SimpliSafe, and Wild Apricot;
moving companies Allied and North
