NRA Statement on Corporate Partnerships

With corporate partners clamoring to distance themselves from the National Rifle Association following the Parkland murders, the NRA issued the statement below.

As a side note, we are not sure that anyone noticed. I read that something on the order of a half-dozen or fewer people had used the car rental discounts – our team has never used the menial discounts offered by car rental agencies, airlines or other companies and we certainly did not join the largest Second Amendment advocacy group for such discounts. It does, however, provide a good compass for choosing which companies to not do business with.

The more than five million law-abiding members of the National Rifle Association have enjoyed discounts and cost-saving programs from many American corporations that have partnered with the NRA to expand member benefits.

Since the tragedy in Parkland, Florida, a number of companies have decided to sever their relationship with the NRA, in an effort to punish our members who are doctors, farmers, law enforcement officers, fire fighters, nurses, shop owners and school teachers that live in every American community. We are men and women who represent every American ethnic group, every one of the world’s religions and every form of political commitment.  

The law-abiding members of the NRA had nothing at all to do with the failure of that school’s security preparedness, the failure of America’s mental health system, the failure of the National Instant Check System or the cruel failures of both federal and local law enforcement.

Despite that, some corporations have decided to punish NRA membership in a shameful display of political and civic cowardice. In time, these brands will be replaced by others who recognize that patriotism and determined commitment to Constitutional freedoms are characteristics of a marketplace they very much want to serve.

Let it be absolutely clear. The loss of a discount will neither scare nor distract one single NRA member from our mission to stand and defend the individual freedoms that have always made America the greatest nation in the world.
