Good, now I will boycott @Hertz . I’m not a member of the NRA but I don’t want to support a company that would gratuitously parade its contempt for gun owners.

These motherfuckers believe corporations have the right to deny gay people service but turn into blubbering snowflakes when companies charge NRA members the same price as everyone else.

If disagreeing with the NRA = contempt for gun owners, then a lot of gun owners have contempt for gun owners as well.

@philipaklein @Hertz I'm a gun owner, 48 years now, I have no problem with Hertz, nor do I feel contempt from them. I do feel used by the NRA, and you, who deign to speak for me and other gun owners who believe in reasonable public safety gun regulations.

Osi, long and short of this story - she was friends with Maryam Babangida and she used her influence to get an oil block. She needs to go and enjoy her money and leave these weekly stories. Other people with oil blocks are not dishing out stories of "na God" weekly. https://t.co/cnhPHYxW63

@philipaklein @Hertz The @NRA does not represent gun owners, it represents gun-makers and gun-sellers. It’s a lobbying organization attempting to sell as many guns as possible to as many people as possible. They don’t care about you or the second amendment...only profits, including Russian $$.

@philipaklein @guypbenson @Hertz Here’s the question: would you be cool if a company offered Planned Parenthood member discounts? If so, then I have no qualms with you. If not, then why would you boycott a company for getting out of the thicket. They didn’t also offer Everytown donors a discount.

NRA membership only represents a fraction of gun owners in the United States. What you want to say is "contempt for gun manufacturers" who will pay lobbyists to fear monger and block common sense restrictions in order to sell more guns.

This seems more like *fear of anti-NRA faction successfully costing them business* more than *gratuitous parading of contempt for gun owners*
If I wanted to show “gratuitous contempt” I’d do more than *not give a special discount*

A very small fraction of American gun owners are NRA members. Majorities of gun owners disagree with a number of NRA policy positions. If you want to respect gun owners, start by not making broad assumptions about who they are and what they believe.

@philipaklein @Hertz Its not contempt for gun owners. Its contempt for gun mnfs. lobbying group The NRA. Thats is what they are a lobbying group for gun makers. I am a gun owner for over 50 years and would not piss on La Paranoia. He is tired old man with his BS God Guy With A Gun crap.

No one has contempt for gun owners. It’s contempt for an extremist lobbying organization that has gone far beyond a single issue advocacy group or just being a right wing political organization. It doesn’t even represent most gun owners in America

@philipaklein @Hertz Picking who you partner with isn’t a shot against gun owners. If I’m a company and I just don’t want to deal with the hassle of this mess, I shouldn’t be compelled to stay in a business arrangement. I’m a conservative & I’m embarrassed by other conservatives crying about this.

@philipaklein @Hertz The NRA has been exposed as being a shill for gun manufacturers. Their POV is not representative of most of their members. They do not care about that. They care about gun sales, and all gun laws hurt gun sales. Surely your paper has covered this... #Hertz deserves support

@philipaklein @Hertz NRA has a membership of 5 million members, which equals 2% of the adult US population. But guns are owned by 22-29% of the adult US population. qz.com/1095899/gun-ow…
NRA represents the interests of gun manufacturers, not Americans.

@philipaklein @Hertz The @NRA is not and never will be congruent with the community of gun-owners. Maybe it once was, but it's turned into something else - I think sometimes designed only to sell more guns. The sooner the link is broken, the better it will be everyone, including 2A supporters.

@philipaklein @Hertz Contempt for the NRA, a political lobbying group, is a far cry from "contempt for gun owners"
There are plenty of gun owners who have turned to local 2A rights groups because they know the NRA no longer looks out for individual gun owners but the gun manufacturers and profits.

You can sometimes sum up white privilege in one tweet, just like this.
"I will now boycott 'something' because that 'something' doesn't approve, support and discount my relations to 'something' that hurts someone else! Grrr! So angry!"

@philipaklein @Hertz The NRA is *not* a group for citizens. It is the lobbying arm of gun manufacturers. It is ONLY in the business of selling as many firearms as possible. “Members” are not their driving force and have not been for years.

@philipaklein @Hertz It will backfire as more people are joining and they're not even firearm owners. A great campaign for them as I see it.
Allegedly, running away because they are 'caught in the mess' is a cowards way out.
NRA involvement in the FL is remote.

@philipaklein @Hertz More than 90% of gun owners are not NRA members. Companies disassociating themselves from the NRA aren’t showing contempt for gun owners; they’re showing contempt for an org. that represents gun makers, not owners, w/a harsh stance out of touch w/the views of the vast majority.

@philipaklein @Hertz For many years now, NRA has NOT represented the opinions of gun owners and even their own members regarding gun control. There are a number of surveys and papers confirming this as fact. Such as this NEJM article nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
