until they finally got the message.

It's not just about the guns, it's about the types of guns that have proliferated recently, that should only be available for military use and not civilian. Mowing down dozens of people, let alone a single person, should not be acceptable.

We have a referendum on this year's ballot about it here in WA state.

I voted for it.

That's not the same thing as refusing their business. Now THAT would be news!

While they are at it, why don't they make a real statement and refuse service with them completely.

From https://www.localmemphis.com/news/local-news/fedex-dropping-discount-deal-with-more-than-100-organizations-including-nra/1562473004


...
The shipping giant tells Local 24 News, the NRA will no longer be associated with any FedEx marketing programs beginning Sunday. However, NRA members will continue to receive the discounts.

FedEx says the NRA is among the more than 100 organizations that are transitioning out of the discount program.

FedEx sent this statement to Local 24 News:

“We are transitioning some account holders in more than 100 organizations in the FedEx Marketing Alliance program to other pricing programs. Account holders that participated in the program will continue to receive the same discounts on FedEx shipping, and we will work directly with these customers to ensure a seamless transition.”
