FedEx said on Tuesday that it will stop providing discounts to members of the National Rifle Association, eight months after ThinkProgress reported the that the shipping company was helping the gun lobby entice members.
The decision comes three days after a gunman entered a Pittsburgh synagogue and shot and killed 11 people and wounded several others.
FedEx did not change its policies for the NRA after the Parkland shooting in February. After that shooting, more than two dozen companies that previous offered discounts to NRA members cut ties with the organization. The decisions were sparked by public outrage and social media campaigns after 17 students were shot and killed in Florida.
Both Delta and United Airlines said they’d no longer be offering discounts to members traveling to the NRA’s annual meeting. Various car rental companies, insurers, and financial companies said they’d no longer participate in programs with the gun lobby.
