Looks like the MSM is trying to pin the Parkland shooting on the NRA and now they have ginned up more support. After all, someone has to be at fault...just not the killer right? Why should the NRA take it on the chin? How are they responsible for what a deranged killer did who sent up red flags galore before the shooting? Cruz had the cops at his home 39 times since 2010!!! A good starting point on the gun control debate is---Why do people allow other people who are close to them and insane give them access to guns?
The common thread---Insanity
Five million NRA members will now be buying their insurance elsewhere, driving rental cars from a different company, and of course, their are plenty of other hotels to stay at.
Suppose a guy who's a duck hunter and a member of Ducks Unlimited goes into a bar and shoots three people dead. Should we now boycott Ducks Unlimited?

What do you think the odds are any of these lunatics actually belonged to the NRA?

The National Rifle Association defended itself in no uncertain terms Saturday after numerous companies sought to cut ties with the gun lobby following the nation's latest mass shooting.
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. #StandandFight #NRA #2A https://t.co/4kzNq9GDLq— NRA (@NRA) February 25, 2018
The statement came two days after Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s executive vice president, delivered a fiery speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland.
The NRA, which represents about 5 million members, has faced public outcry following a mass shooting Feb. 14 in Parkland, Fla., that killed 17 people. That outcry has mostly taken the form of calls for gun control legislation and for boycotts of companies that partner with the NRA on discount offers and other consumer inducements.
On Saturday, United and Delta Airlines joined the list of companies separating themselves from the gun group. Previous companies to do so include MetLife, Symantec and rental car companies Hertz, Budget, Avis and Enterprise.
Those moves prompted Saturday's response from the NRA, which asserted that those corporations had “decided to punish NRA membership in a shameful display of political and civic cowardice.”
The NRA's statement argued that other factors besides gun ownership were to blame for events like the Parkland massacre.

How true:
“The law-abiding members of the NRA had nothing at all to do with the failure of that school’s security preparedness, the failure of America’s mental health system, the failure of the National Instant Check System or the cruel failures of both federal and local law enforcement,” its statement said.
15 brands have now ended their relationship with the NRA:
1. MetLife
2. Symantec
3. BestWestern
4. Wyndham
5. Alamo
6. NationalPro
7. Enterprise
8. FNBOmaha
