Attack on Fedex for Their NRA Discount
« on: December 21, 2016, 09:39:56 AM »
Sorry it's Heatstreet - it's where foxnews took me.

Fedex is being attacked and boycotted (it appears so far just by LGBT for some reason) because they have just negotiated an NRA member discount. On the bright side, it looks to be a pretty decent discount. I thank the boycotters, or I may have never seen that this was available.

Also, I hope the Pink Pistols do some media on this.

Someone turn the Pink Pistols loose on these asshats, please.

Oh, and regarding "allowing guns in schools."

No, *expletive deleted*che nozzle, we don't want guns in schools, we want KIDS in schools to have guns!  :facepalm:

That's who they talk about in the last third of the article.

It's interesting that the number of NRA members, cited in the article as 5 million, is not far off from the estimated number of LGBTsupercalifragilisticexpialidocious folks in the U.S. Obviously, the number of actual gun owners is much higher.

^^^ This. There are few things worse than guns that have been to school and think they're smarter than their owners.

If one is going to ship a bunch in the next few days, it might be worth it to get a "burner" NRA membership.

Question would be how many of the alphabet group are also members of the NRA and if not own firearms.  The LGBTblahblahblah community might fear the numbers that show up.

Yeah, I scanned over the article; but read it in depth while I ate my lunch.

And it's worth even more to join, and remain, NRA, for *expletive deleted*ck's sake.

I was going to ask what why LGBT* groups had to do with gun control. Ah, reading the article, most of those groups want to see the Orlando event as a routine hate crime caused by gun violence, rather than being Islamic terrorism related.

Quote
“I can’t speak for the whole community, but Orlando was hit very hard by the Pulse tragedy, and anything that contributes to more violence like that is problematic, and we want it to stop,” said Nicole Varma, a community organizer affiliated with Guns Down who is organizing the FedEx protest in Orlando. “We don’t want any other community to be affected by gun violence.”

No mention of Islam anywhere in the article.
"Rev, your picture is in my King James Bible, where Paul talks about "inventors of evil."  Yes, I know you'll take that as a compliment."  - Fistful, possibly highest compliment I've ever received.

And people like this commonly ignore the fact that most of these terrorist/mass shooters obtain their guns legally and pass background checks.  None of the proposed gun control laws would have stopped them.

The discount might not apply right now during the busy season.  I get a great discount at FedEx through my work, but this is a black-out time.

Looks like it might be good over the holidays? Twitchy has a link to the fedex login site for the discount, but I haven't looked for the NRA code yet.
