I don’t understand how/why companies put themselves in the midst of controversial political discussions when they have absolutely nothing to gain by taking a stance and a lot to lose.

Just bad business. How did their CEOs get into those positions?




This. It's getting to the point where every aspect of our nation is divided on social and political issues. If you are a business, why potentially alienate roughly half of your customer base? It makes zero sense.

What am I missing here? Is the NRA responsible for school shootings? Are they doing anything different than other lobbyist organizations that use money to influence public policy?

Each one of these corporate hissy fits is about 100,000 more votes for Republican candidates.

Congrats liberals. Once again proving you are the dumbest people on earth and enemies of our nation.

I really don’t understand what kind of ties these companies had with them anyway. How powerful is the NRA? I know they are huge when it comes to funding political campaigns but people making a big deal out of this makes me think they have some power that I am unaware of. I mean why does it matter?

Echo chamber! Or would you rather talk about the ech chamber that is Fox News? I know....Fox and Friends..... there's an open minded program right there.

As far as lobbies go, they weren't even ranked in the top 100 in 2016.

It definitely helps the NRA who is one of the more moderate gun rights groups
