*SCHOOL SHOOTING SURVIVORS*


*School shooting survivors target NRA-linked companies*.

SURVIVORS of a mass shooting at a Florida high school are hoping to expand the reach of their  ''gun control movement'' by seeking a -

Boycott of companies doing business with NRA and urging tourists to boycott  the  Sunshine state.

As the  hashBoycottNRA movement grew on Twitter, with petitions circulating against companies that offer discounts to  NRA  members, a growing number of of those businesses announced they are cutting or reducing ties with the association.

Both Delta and United said Saturday that they will no longer offer discounted airfares to  NRA members to attend their annual meetings, and both have asked the gun rights groups  to-

Remove any references to their companies from the  NRA  website, Rental-car company Hertz said it would no  longer offer a discount program to NRA members, and-

First National Bank of Omaha, one of the nations's largest privately held banks, said it will not  renew a  co-branded  Visa  credit card it has with the NRA.

In an  email  Saturday,  the  NRA  called the companies actions '' a shameful display of political and civic cowardice''  and said the loss of corporate discounts and other perks-

''Will neither scare nor distract NRA members.

'In time, these brands will be replaced by others who recognize that patriotism  and determined commitment to  Constitutional freedoms  are characteristics of a  marketplace they very much want to serve.'' the NRA statement said.
