FedEx Discount for NRA Draws LGBT, Anti-Gun Activist Rage

At some point, companies will have to stop giving in to the phony outrage. The time has finally come and not a moment too soon!

I'm constantly outraged, no one ever gives in to me.

I guess I need a hook, like lgbt, or such. Maybe I can take my group of Appalachian Americans for change to Washington and get recognized.


Atleast FedEx makes good money from gun purchases. And they realize it. Good for FedEx.

They should offer LBGT community the same discount if they give their NRA member number.

They need to start accepting the reality of "We are here, We are pro 2A. Get used to it!"

This thread is excellent already!

...and the story linked in the first post is brought to you by Blo0mberg News!

Too funny.

LGBT groups have increased their anti-gun activism since a shooting in June that killed 49 people at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando.

It's just sad when people don't see the obvious right in front of them. If I were one of the 49 people I would have rather been holding a gun, holding an anti gun protest will do as much good as holding an anti rain protest following a flood...

Bloomberg News plays up "LGBT, Anti-Gun Activist Rage". Never heard of those groups before this news item. I have heard of "Pink Pistols" who probably have a different opinion. Given their prominence for years why weren't they contacted? [sarcasm]Funny how one-sided Bloomberg News is on gun issues. You would think Bloomberg News was the propaganda arm of Everytown if you were conspiracy minded.[/sarcasm]

jmorris "... an anti rain protest following a flood ..."
This protest is comparable to burning the Beatles' White Album over the Manson Family "Helter Skelter" murders.

Hehehe...good one. Yeah, someone explain again what LGBT has to do with gun politics?

I figure it's just an "angle" they want to suggest that if your pro gun your a homophobe.

Despite the event they used to spring board the subject would have been a good example of when gays needed guns.

They think some more laws will save them. In much the same way speed limits have eliminated speeding in this Country.

From the article, "FedEx is one of the biggest and most recognizable brands" with NRA discounts, Mr. Volsky said. "If they really value investing in under-served communities, which we think they do, then partnering with the NRA really undermines that mission." No, Mr. Volsky, Fed Ex is a business, in it to make money, not "invest in under served communities" (not that that has anything to do with shipping guns anyway). It's good business to keep good customers happy, which means having sales and discounts for them on occasion. If FedEx made as much money shipping rainbow flags as they do guns and ammo then they'd have discounts for that too.

This discount isn't for me and you... it's for small businesses under the FedEx Advantage / NRA Business Alliance program.

Truth be told, any small business can get those types of discounts if the just work with their FedEx rep regardless of being a NRA member.

Man, you're presenting true, logical, reasonable facts. This is about emotion and feelings!

I'm acquainted with many LGBT and anti gun types. None of them is mad at FedEx. Weird.

LoL... we'll then, let me fix that.

All small businesses equal the NRA so all small businesses should be boycotted !!!

(except, of course, those owned by members of the LGBT community)

I find this trend very disturbing...

The more radical LGBT groups are very aggressive about trying to shame and coerce anybody who disagrees with them. They use the courts to get access to donor lists of their political opponents and then harass and intimidate anyone who dares to exercise their first amendment rights.

Now they are assaulting Fed Ex for negotiating a discount for NRA members.

Apparently, they think all NRA members are stodgy conservatives who oppose their views on sexuality and have never heard of the Pink Pistols.

Or, does their agenda really go far beyond LGBT equality issues?

I appears that our 2A rights are under assault from every direction, not just politics and courts.

If they really value investing in under-served communities

What the-- I thought this was about LGBT, now he's dragging assorted racial/socio-economic nonsense into this? As if the inner-city (or LGBT for that matter) don't have access to FedEx? If anything, the 'under-served community' is the guy in rural Arizona who has to drive fifty miles to the nearest drop or pickup location.

This sounds like a bunch of out-of-work gay marriage activists and other assorted out-of-work rabble-rousers trying to find employment by way of a common political 'enemy' that has nothing at all to do with their past issues, apart from the fact their previous employers (Democrats all) hated the NRA for opposing a separate gun control putsch. I seem to recall reading shortly after Obergefell settled the gay marriage issue, that the activists would soon be pursuing gun control as a follow-up. Good luck with that.

The shame of it is they're impacting public perception as to what being gay really means. If I was a pro-2A gay guy, I'd be uber-pissed. They're effectively reinforcing the whole 'defenseless girly-man' stereotype that I imagine most gay males have to be pretty tired of.

The suggestion of any Minority group in the USA being "anti-gun" leaves me scratching my head.

It has always seemed logical to me that Minority groups, especially those that have suffered discrimination/violence/etc, should be at the front of the line embracing their 2A Rights.

The left LOVES Blacks, women, gays, etc... as VICTIMS.

The second ANY of us resolves to NOT be a victim, we become evil incarnate, worse than the worst victimizer.

If a gay man or lesbian had shot the Pulse nightclub murderer, they would INSTANTLY be vilified as an "islamophobe".

Gays better get it through their heads that they're a rung or two beneath islamist murderers on the left's "victimhood ladder".

The article doesn't say but I'll point out that this isn't a discount for us. It's for small businesses under the FedEx Advantage / NRA Business Alliance program.

Some of the LGBT people learned the lesson of Orlando, and have been getting trained/licensed to carry.

Some will never learn, regardless of sexual persuasion.

Maybe the LGBT members missed their history classes. The German Socialist Party AKA Nazis enlisted the minorities to take over the Democratic German Republic.
The Gays held high positions in government and the Military. When they became a liability they were executed along with other minorities. The LGBT of the 1930s thought they were attaining power also.

I think this statement has a lot of insight packed into it...

It's really the LLGBT crowd that hates the NRA. It's not even an undeclared war any longer.

They're just more riled up than usual since their standard bearer failed to make it to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
