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.
