FedEx won't cut ties with NRA

FedEx announced Monday it will not cut ties with the National Rifle Association (NRA), despite pressure to do so after a mass shooting at a Florida high school.

The shipping giant added that it still opposes civilian access to assault weapons.

“FedEx views assault rifles and large capacity magazines as an inherent potential danger to schools, workplaces, and communities when such weapons are misused. We therefore support restricting them to the military,” the company said in a statement.

They suck at their service. This is just another reason to take my business elsewhere.

Good thing that assault rifles pretty much are restricted to the military

FedEx was also founded by a Veteran.

I don't see anything wrong with their statement.

Smart company to not fold, when they know this will pass over soon.

I can't wait until we get to a point where some people have banned themselves from basically doing anything because they give a shite about the company's political preferences.


It's a shipping company. They ship things. That's all I give a shite about.

FedEx does a metric shite ton of business shipping firearms around the US. You think they were going to endanger that?

Why do all of these businesses have ties with the NRA in the first place?

Same reason why random companies have ties with AAA.

They're giving incentives to an organization with millions of members.

This is mostly a leftist position unless you just believe in outlawing all guns.

No kidding. I'm pretty sure the girl who cuts my hair has had at least 7 abortions in her day. We hardly talk it about it, though. Shut up and shampoo me, Michelle.
