Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor, to run away to fight another day. The NRA may stumble, but this witch hunt, like all others, will lose steam. Hopefully, the NRA will lead the way at that time and fight for rational solutions

I hope so too CPT Jack. Rational solutions are what is needed. Not hardheaded radical BS. Thanks Sir.

What is spineless about walking away from something that will harm what you have a legal duty to protect?

I disagree with the general premise. Wayne LaPierre didn't make a speech to the survivors or the parents of the Parkland shooting, he made it to CPAC. It was an appropriate venue for the things he had to say -- and he wasn't incorrect in what he said.
Regarding the companies that are cutting ties with the NRA, so what. It's their right to do what they want in that regard. But it's also the right of the NRA and its members and supporters to spend their money however they see fit, and these companies are receiving a lot of backlash in the form of canceled orders and reservations. It's rather like Ivanka Trump's company after some idiots tried to get her stuff removed from stores -- Nordstroms accommodated the idiots and lost the business of a huge number of Trump supporters, while Ivanka's company had a significant boost in sales right afterward. The NRA is having a lot of people become members or renews memberships, and people are letting Enterprise/Avis/United/etc that they aren't going to spend any money with them any more.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - I think you need to look up the definition of the word "to".

SPC Martin Wiesiolek - And which gun companies do they represent, specifically?

SPC Martin Wiesiolek - None of what you mentioned proves that the NRA "represents" any gun companies, which is what you claimed earlier. The NRA is a pro-Second Amendment advocacy group. That advocacy obviously benefits gun manufacturers in general, but just because a company takes advertising money from someone does not mean that someone represents the company. If Ford buys advertising space in Newsweek magazine, does Newsweek represent Ford? It's a stupid argument. The fact that some gun companies throw in an NRA membership or contribution when someone buys a new gun doesn't mean the NRA represents those companies either. Those are customer incentives.
