(41,151 posts)"These Companies Are Staying with the NRA" from Huff Po today has Fed Ex included, so does the Think Progress website.
Huff Po article, in the Fed Ex section, states that a page has been removed from the NRA website, but their shipping co. (?) hasn't made a statement about the relationship with the NRA. ~ Thanks!

(37,748 posts)I never expected the reaction we're getting coming out of last week's mass-killing. There's a part of me, buried dark, deep and inaccessible ever since Columbine, that sees a bit of hope this week.
That maybe there will be change.
And yeah... I'm getting off my ass this time.

(7,188 posts)made tremendous impact.
I watched one cell phone video of kids in class room and heard shots - it was deafening. Just made such an impact on me. Had no idea how loud the sounds were.
I also read some of the autopsy summaries that HuffPost published of Las Vegas victims. Only got through about 8 before had to stop. Not sugar coasting how much worse damages is from these bullets. I mean people who lost multiple limbs during Boston Marathon bombing lived yet these bullets killed virtually immediately.
The kids saying this is the last one, we call BS on this excuse and that excuse. Really said what most of us thought but had not heard on TV before. Only heard elected officials saying thoughts and prayers.
