Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- More hypocrisy, from guess who:
I don’t fly Delta anyway, but it is even less likely I’ll fly with them now, after they precipitously canceled a discount arrangement with the NRA. [Delta has a long history of harassing gun owners.]
As we all agree, the NRA is far from perfect, but we’re all members and need to be.
And, most agree the NRA had nothing to do with the recent FL shooting, despite all the fraudulent blame being currently heaped upon it.
And, then there is Dick’s Sporting Goods. I’m not sure I’ve ever been in one, but they will never enjoy my business now, nor should they enjoy the business of any Operator!
Suddenly, they’re far too pure, too pious to sell “assault weapons,” which they can’t even define.
They need to get out of the gun business altogether. They have no friends here!
Those who do enjoy my business are local gunshops, gun retailers who carry adequate inventory, sell lots of accessories, including ammunition, and are staffed by people who go armed, are knowledgeable, and cater to Operators.
Yes, I’ll take my business there!
Dick’s, and their ilk, can cater to snowflakes.
Good place for them!

Exactly my view of them. I stopped buying even loaded amo from them years ago, when they wanted to take down my name for their records. None of their business. Now, though, I won’t even pop my head in.
I read that Kroger was going the same way as Dick’s. I may have been under the rock too long but I sure didn’t know Kroger sold guns. WTF Never seen any ammo in their stores either.
Tragic! A bullied ostracized kid does a horrible act where is the media concerning the FBI and local police dropping the ball these children cause merchants to drop NRA , who cares I’m still a member instead of bitching about guns maybe the CHILDREN should apologize to 5he servivers because if they didn’t bully that kid then they looked the other way SHAME ON THEM
They can change their minds but not mine/ours.
Delta is simply making a political statement during the heat of the Parkland shooting. They say it’s not politics, but simply that the NRA discount was ineffective. That only five tickets were utilized under the discount to travel to the NRA convention. If that was the reason, why did Delta bring all this bad publicity upon itself on a program that only extends for a few more days and then expires? The NRA convention only lasts for about three days, so why even cancel the discount?
Boycott Delta, I don’t fly them anyway, hope they go belly up. I’m also done with dicks and Walmart let’s all stick together on these issues.
