NRA supporters react like the average Fox News viewer over a sponsor cutting ties with the NRA.

How? By blowing up a Yeti Cooler. - The Hill

National Rifle Association (NRA) supporters are plowing up Yeti coolers and other products and posting videos of their destruction online to protest the company's decision to cut ties ties with the gun group.

But Yeti says it remains a supporter of the Second Amendment and simply ended a group of outdated discounting problems, replacing them with alternatives.

The videos show irritated NRA supporters blowing up, shooting or otherwise destroying Yeti coolers and tumblers in response to a report that Yet from the NRA Institute for Legislative Action was ending its affiliation with the NRA, according to The Washington Post.

Former NRA president and top lobbyist Marion Hammer told members in a letter last week that Yeti abruptly “declined to do business with The NRA Foundation” and wouldn’t say why.

“They will only say they will no longer sell products to The NRA Foundation. That certainly isn’t sportsmanlike. In fact, YETI should be ashamed,” Hammer wrote.

Yeti said that mischaracterizes what happened.

In a statement posted on its Facebook page on Monday, Yeti called the letter “inaccurate.”

It said it had decided to eliminate a group of outdated discounting programs, and had notified the NRA Foundation and other organization about the change. It also said it had offered them "alternative customizations program broadly available to consumers and organizations, including the NRA Foundation.”

Yeti went on to say that it featured and would continue to feature hunters in in its film footage and social media posts, and that it was "unwavering in its belief in and commitment to the Constitution of the United States and its Second Amendment."

Hammer hit back at Yeti’s statement in comments to the Post.

“After three days Yeti issued a statement claiming they didn’t really drop the NRA Foundation,” Hammer said. “They claim they simply eliminated the entire program affecting NRA Foundation and other unnamed organizations. Isn’t that like eliminating a job position so you can get rid of an employee?”

A number of companies did cut ties with the NRA amid public pressure in the weeks after the mass shooting at a Parkland, Fla. high school. Companies including Hertz, United Airlines and Delta were among those that announced the end of discount or other programs for NRA members.

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) ended its relationship with Wells Fargo over the bank's continued ties to the NRA.

And here's the video:

"The most mature side of the political spectrum." Ugh...

Hmm. I personally don't agree with this sort of "protest", but at least they're destroying their own property instead of other people's property like............. well, you know.

Good for them. I have a lot of products I can sell them so that they can film themselves shooting them.

Also, I feel a lot safer knowing that people with such sound judgement and clear heads as the ones in the video are in possession of such powerful weapons. Will definitely sleep better knowing these people are out there.

What snowflakes. Isn’t there such thing as freedom of speech anymore.

No one can say anything without the poor conservatives getting offended.

Those are pretty expensive products to destroy.

Off topic, I have a Yeti 64 oz tumbler. It's like having a portal to a Himalayan mountain spring that you can carry around with you.

Omg this is dumb.

Ya, they should do like BLM and other far-left groups and protest by destroying other peoples property. right?

Hmm....beats far-right groups running over people with cars.

Yes, because you can't think both are stupid. You clearly HAVE to choose a side. This is Murica! There is no moderation allowed.

You're in GS' forums...in here "He started it" or "He posts much worse things than I do and nobody complains about that" are your bread and butter of excuses.

Heck, it isn't even moderation that is the issue. If you are to the right of the right, or the left of the left, you are a crazed feminist neo nazi libtard trying to abort black children so POCs can take over America. All depending on the point you are arguing against.

Snowflakes.

'nuff said.

Makes me want to join the NRA.

@kittennose: And people wonder why there is no moderate people left in the debate...?

Why?

snowflake is someone who thinks free speech means nobody can say the speech is stupid because it might hurt their feelings

Can you make that into english?

I will try

a snowflake thinks 'Free Speech' means anyone who disagrees with what is being said is being against free speech.

Free Speech does not give one immunity to disagreement or social consequence for what is said.

Much better! Thanks!

lol

do nra supporters have any reactions to anything that don't involve shooting things?

we get it. you like shootin' stuff
