I would say unless you are a lobbyist that would be hard to argue against.

Austin, Texas-based Yeti was founded by brothers Roy and Ryan Seiders, two sportsmen who decided to make coolers for the luxury outdoor market rather than for mass discount retailers. In 2012, they sold majority ownership of Yeti to Cortec Group Management Services LLC, a private equity firm.Jan 18, 2016.

The 4 guys that run Yeti now do not include the two brothers that founded the company.

What laws are you talking about? I don't think you have the IQ to substantiate this claim but do try.

It could only be a matter of time before an anti-NRA group gets established and with enough money they can influence government to put more restrictions on guns, etc.


Everytown, Brady Campaign, VPC, The Joyce Foundation, etc. You so poorly educated on this topic it's laughable but also typical of you and those that share your opinions here.

Problem is you distorting what the NRA is and what it does. Ignorant gun owners like you are called Fudds for a reason. Too stupid, too poorly educated, too naive and yet seem to think being a gun owner is some sort of validation of your opinions.

Goddamn you're ignorant

In 2016, the NRA wasn't in the top 150 lobbies in the country. Their power comes from voting members, not money.

Retarded talking points influence retarded people

The NRA is not a powerful lobby group, but it is a powerful teaching and education agency.

The Leftist NRA narrative is so fricked up that it takes a literal idiot to buy into it

3 of 4 are from New York City.

They thought they were gonna get rich quick with the IPO.

Instead, they lost $38M last quarter.

They mistimed the whole luxury cooler deal.

I didn’t know Yeti was based in Austin. This all makes sense now.


May be based in Austin, but ownership is in NYC. Yeti sold out a few years ago.

Cortec Group


That, and like others alluded to, it's probably more financial than political.

Typical of the cowardly mindset, projects when unable to support their claims. Predictable, unoriginal, and uneducated...
