FedEx has been under increasing pressure to disassociate its close ties with the NRA after several large companies like Delta, United, Enterprise and MetLife have done in the wake of the Parkland, FL shooting earlier this month.
And while the company hasn’t overtly announced it will break ties with the National Rifle Association, it released a Twitter statement on Monday evening indicating the shipping behemoth is at least leaning that direction.
“FedEx Corporation’s positions on the issues of gun policy and safety differ from those of the National Rifle Association (NRA). FedEx opposes assault rifles being in the hands of citizens,” the statement said. “FedEx views assault rifles and large capacity magazines as an inherent potential danger to schools, workplaces, and communities when such weapons are misused. We therefore support restricting them to the military.”
Pressure mounted on the company to address its relationship with the NRA after Marjory Stoneman High School shooting survivor David Hogg called FedEx out for their support of the association.
Currently, FedEx offers shipping discounts to members of the NRA. It has not announced plans to end the relationship despite its harsh criticism of current gun laws.

While the anti-gunners have stepped up their attacks on the NRA, many on the right are rushing to the NRA’s defense. So, to all of our supporters, we thank you! #TweetYourNRAMembership #StandandFight #DefendtheSecond #2A #NRA

It NEVER works to compromise with liberals.
THE UNABRIDGED SECOND AMENDMENT

Is The Second Amendment Worth Dying For?

Seems like, once again they’ve learned NOTHING from what turned into the Chick Fil-A BUYcott.
The Left clutches its ideology so tight that if it was a venomous snake, they would be dead in a minute. It is my prediction that they are one foot in the grave, politically.
Restrict all mail delivery (again) to the US Post Office.
Oh, not going that far in restrictions, FedEx?
I want to ask them if we ban vehicles because they were used in one crime and if not, why not?
What assault weapon can be bought by the citizen?
Kind of a meaningless statement
I wonder if FedEx should impose a waiting period on prospective drivers before they can use their trucks, in order to avoid another Nice.
The problem here is the liberals created this massacre. The liberal government
in Broward county failed to protect citizens from harm. Thanks goes to Obama, Arne Duncan , Eric Holder, the Broward school district and the entire corrupted political Police department.
Fedex is finished. It is UPS for me!!
Letting the bastards redefine words to suit their agenda is the root of a lot of problems.
> “We therefore support restricting them to the military”
The American People are its own military.
Every last society in history that has bought the bunk that its people and its military are mutually exclusive has fallen into tyranny with the tyrant controlling the weapons.
Venezuela
Cuba
... ad infinitum
Conceding a particular weapon leads to ceding other types of weapons to ceding all weapons
... ad infinitum.
Those that would disarm you will control you no matter that you abide by law because law will be made by those holding the weapons, and there will be law upon law
... ad infinitum.
Yes.
FedEx and their Lefty corporate ilk have no clue regarding the true meaning of the 2nd Amendment. The right of individuals to keep and bear arms is not about hunting or home/personal defense. It’s about defending freedom and preventing government tyranny. And that’s why law abiding citizens should be able to possess the most powerful firearms possible, handguns, rifles, and shotguns.
Nope
Your move...
See encyclopedia general Gage
WTH!? FedEx can GTH! What in the world is wrong with them anyway? Are they insane or just plain traitors to our American constitutional rights or what? We will stop all all all of our fedex shipments IMMEDIATELY as soon as we get any confirmation of this krap!
Is David Hogg trying to be the next Sandra Fluke?
