Delta and United end their discounts for NRA members as the number of companies to cut ties with the gun lobby rises to 14

 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

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

 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?

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

9. Hertz

10. Budget

11. Avis

12. Norton online

13. North-American

14. SimpliSafe

15. Chubb

US deportations targeting more people with no crime records

Yeah...they're here illegally aren't they? The headline of this leftist article makes it sound like they're being "victimized". Liberals hate it because for every illegal deported it's one less vote for Democrats.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — People arrested by deportation officers increasingly have no criminal backgrounds, according to figures released Friday, reflecting the Trump administration's commitment to cast a wider net.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said 65 percent of arrests from October to December were criminals, compared to 82 percent during the final full three months of the Obama administration.

Looked at another way, arrests of criminals jumped 14 percent to 25,626 from 22,484, but arrests of non-criminals nearly tripled to 13,548 from 4,918.

Overall, there were 39,174 deportation arrests from October to December, up from 27,402 during the final full three months of the Obama administration. The 43 percent surge is consistent with trends since Trump took office and dramatically increased enforcement.

During the 2017 fiscal year, which included nearly four months under Obama, 74 percent had criminal convictions and an additional 16 percent had pending charges, according to ICE. The most common crimes were driving under the influence, drugs, other traffic offenses and immigration violations.

The administration has said people with criminal histories remain a priority but that no one in the country illegally is immune. (The left perceives this as crazy. They cherish not knowing who's in the country...as long as they vote Democrat) Many with deep, longstanding ties in the country who stayed out of trouble were allowed to stay under Obama but are now ordered to leave.

Get out the violin.

In February, former Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, now Trump's chief of staff, scrapped the Obama administration's policy of limiting deportations to people who pose a public safety threat, convicted criminals and those who have crossed the border recently, effectively making anyone in the country illegally vulnerable.

ICE's Dallas field office tallied the most arrests during the latest three-month period, followed by Atlanta and Houston.

Florida gunman is pictured burying his mother's ashes with his brother - at the same time police were warned he was a 'school shooter in the making'

Well, I guess this is proof positive Nicholas Cruz is insane! First, he stood to inherit $800,000 from his mother's estate which due to his murderous act he will now never see a dime of. Secondly, he posted racist rants on social media “I hate Jews, ni**ers, immigrants” so one must assume he hated his own brother.
