Turkey hunting forum for turkey hunting tips

I recently have read several sponsors have dropped the NRA due to the recent shooting. A few Airlines,Rental car companies,etc...Google it and keep it in mind the next time everyone's traveling..

You can thank the liberal snowflakes for this. For some reason it's always the guns fault.

My son works for Enterprise, is a Lifetime NRA member and not happy. 

This is a lil bump in the road for the NRA and its not their fault but somebodys gotta be the scapegoat in this horendious act that this person did. I find it quite amusing that a couple of the sponsors are car rental companies. Did Hertz car rental forget their cars kill people also or is it the driver of said car. Its the same thing.The NRA will rebound after a few months I dont think the FBI or the Broward Sheriffs office will rebound after this though. :firefighter:

Blame the gun! Blame the NRA, blame everyone except the idiots who didn't heed all the warning about the guy being a loose cannon. Why not blame the pansy cop who wasn't prepared to do what he's been trained to do? Why not blame the FBI for not following up on the tip the youtube user from Mississippi gave them? Nope, all of those things don't fit the liberal agenda so it's gotta be the NRA's fault. I'm a proud NRA lifetime endowment member and it'll take much more than those politically correct companies to derail the NRA. Any of you who aren't members should become one today.

Lifetime member here.
Just more names to add to my list that I WON"T SUPPORT.
Plus I'll tell everyone I know why and what I think.
:character0029:

I saw the list yesterday and none of those companies will see a dime of my money. Blaming the gun is like blaming the hammer when a carpenter hits their thumb or the spoon for someone being overweight.

Strange how 30 years ago every high school in the south had trucks with guns hanging in the back glass including mine and none of these shootings ever took place. Mental disorders along with screwed up parenting techniques are the main culprits at play in my opinion.

The way i see it's free advertisement for the NRA, If those liberal morons think this is gonna hurt the NRA  there highly mistaken ! My guess is more people will join and make them all the stronger. I just hope "WE/ US " as a hunting community can stick together and boycott these companies, and give them a little of there own medicine.  SO keep a list of those dropping the NRA going.  and give them a great big


                                      UP YOURS  :TrainWreck1:

                     

Patron member joined when I was in my 20's I'm 59 now I agree with all your statements. Until something is done to deter this besides 3 hots and a cot it will continue. Instead of spending all the money to figure out way, a trial, and if there is proof without a doubt  that the perpetrator committed the crime you go straight to the death chamber and pull the trigger.

Bingo !!

This boycott stuff is a two way street.    Simple enough.   

Never hurts to pick up the phone and call these companies' 800 number and.tell them so, either............

We blame cocaine and heroin for people abusing them. Just saying.

Just makes the division a little clearer.

Not sure who we is but I sure don't blame the drug I blame the moron that takes them. 


Blaming the object is a liberal way of thinking.

I'm Southern, love hunting, love guns and don't think gun control will solve the problems with society today. But I don't care for the NRA. Way too much going into politicians pockets for my taste. This is just my opinion. Don't chastise me about it, because I'm not going to argue over it. I don't like ANY company, organization or individual that pours money into lobbying. That's not how our government is "supposed" to work. Just my $.02.

They took God out of schools and they took punishment away.  Kids need their butts beat, not their cell phones taken away for an hour.  The youth of today feel invincible because nobody can touch them.  Parents aren't being parents anymore,  they are being their child's friend. 
No shootings occurred when there was a wood shed out back.

Exactly. It's not the object, it's the people.

I agree. This is a very big part of the problem.

I just upgraded to PATRON member. I also took the list of "knee jerk" companies and sent them letters boycotting them this morning. Don't sit back and let others do the work for you. It' how you stand that matters.....

I don't like lobbyists either but you can bet that the anti-gunners are sure going to pour money into taking them away so I'll add money to a group that will help fight to keep them.


How it's supposed to work and how it actually works have been different for a very long time.

12 teenagers a day die due to texting and driving I want apple held accountable and cell phones regulated or banned.

Or it could be disregard for human life, disgraceful parenting, medicating our youth, and the fact that we don't protect our schools with anything more than a sign.

I agree that it's been different for a long time. And I respect your choice to support the NRA. It's not like I protest them.

Then why are cocaine and heroin illegal substances?

I wrote this last year and have posted it several time on Facebook. The last sentence is for the anti's not us here.

I have said this before, in the hands of a cook a fire can be used to make a wonderful meal for those they love but in the hands of an arsonist that same fire could be used to kill, destroy and maim. In the hands of a parent a vehicle can be used to take their children to a soccer game or to see loved ones but in the hands of a drunk driver can be used to destroy lives forever and to kill. A knife can be used to prepare a meal for your family or it can be used to go on a stabbing spree as happened in China a few days ago. A jet can be used to take us to far away places to see incredible wonders in lands which may otherwise never be seen or it can take us to see those we love but as we saw in 9/11 the same jets can be used to kill thousands of people. A gun can be used to put food on the table or to save a life but in the hands of somebody with malcontent can be used to murder. We look at all but the gun and we punish the person that did the crime but we have not cried to outlaw cars,jets,knives or fire so why do we want to outlaw an inanimate object? Why not take all those other things away? Heck we should take away bows and arrows by that way of thought, if you look at history they have killed far more than guns. If you are willing to get rid of fire, jets, cars, knives a anything else that has ever been used to kill somebody then talk to me about guns but you will never do that because that would make your life inconvenient, it is easier for you to take away from us than it is for you to take away from yourselves, your a bunch of hypocrites.

Cause someone thought making them illegal would fix the problem an people wouldn't use them any more.


It doesn't seem to be working since people are the problem.  If a pile of cocaine was laying infront of you would it attack you and force you to use it?

If you buy cocaine or heroin, you are a dopehead!

Only a minuscule percentage of people who buy guns use them to commit crimes.

They are all false flags, the USA is being played by the CIA/FBI/US Govt(Dems & Repubs)/Elite cabal....... Before you call me crazy, read through the following link for a few days....the rabbit hole is deep, but the truth is there.

Here is the link to the NRA response to the boycott.
Hope we can get some kind of petition going to tell these a-holes that we can also boycott THEM.
If 1/2 the NRA members joined a boycott, I think that would send a very powerful message.

It was the same at my high school everyone had a shot gun for pheasant hunting after school.
I think If the news crews didn't publicize all of these school shootings they wouldn't happen near as much. What they should publicize is the 17 families who lost their loved ones to the whack job. They should let the families have that kid for 1 hour to do whatever they want to do with him and show that on every tv station

Agree....no truer words has been spoken.

My main problem with the NRA is that many of the politicians they support are the worst ones on the habitat and public land issues, meaning they want public land turned over to the states which have a history of selling it to the highest bidder and they certainly don't care about habitat for wildlife.  NRA is also very alarmist and seems like they are more interested in promoting gun manufacturers than looking at solutions to many of the gun violence problems. It also created the biggest flaw in the background check system by financing and arguing the US Supreme Court case that let states off the hook in reporting convictions. As a gun owner for over 60 years my opinion of the NRA is a lot lower than it used to be.  I mostly support wildlife conservation organizations now.

Compton, we know which candidates you stand by but this is a pro gun site. Liberals are legalizing drugs. That's your side remember that. They've also tried to redefine marriage and families and say the Bible is a story book. No personal attack on you but the liberal mentality is a big part of the problem

I live approximately 3.5 miles from the incident. ..let's say there are some freaked out folks arround here

The anger and blame on the shooting changes day by day ...with more of it being transferred to the local and fedwral authorities , there were countless tip offs visits to his home ....weapons violations on school like bringing knives

At first the NRA and especially ar15's are the whipping boy...that blame seems to be easing --don't worry about these sponsors ...there only in it for the money

Unfortunately we have bigger issues to tend to and everyone knows it
1) trump won florida with 100,000 votes in 2016 , you can kiss those votes goodbye. ...he has 2 and a half years to get to win those votes back - I think he can do it

2) Marco Rubio. ..he is in big trouble ...he looses his seat , this could contribute to loosing the Senate majority

3) if there isn't some sort of a "giveback" with trumps proposed gun control. ...#1 and #2 WILL HAPPEN florida is a swing state .....and if trump looses FLORIDA ...you cant be president --the sad reality of the electoral system

4) if there is no proposed trump gun control plan in put in place for a "feel good" bill , in 2020 the democrats will beat trump in florida ...not saying this will happen ...just speculating ,  and if they get in there will be a more serious antI gun bill thrown in the Senate and across the desk of whoever the president will be ...that's why trump is desperate to get a gun bill in ...IT'S A GIVEBACK TO WIN FLORIDA VOTERS FOR 2020

 :fud:   I check every day and for the 12775th day in a row, none of my guns have broken the law. Keep your $$ where it will support your views. Just my view, Al Baker

I went into a gun store on Saturday and the shelves looked bare.
