Yeah buy they aren't as big. The NRA is becoming retarded they but they are still successful with their main mission of protecting 2A. So i guess its a question of practicality, yeah you could support organizations but they aren't as effective currently in protecting 2A.
In the last 20 years, there have been (as far as I can tell) increases in personal freedom in only three areas: gay rights, marijuana legalization and gun rights. I'm not gay, I don't like pot, but I do own a few pew pews.
The fact that the increase in gun rights (for example, I can carry my pistol concealed in my home state without a permit and private transactions require no background check) has come almost singlehandedly from an organization of stodgy, business class retards is annoying, but I am glad they exist and with their disproportionate amount of influence.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)
National Rifle Association supporters are plowing up Yeti coolers and other products and posting videos of their destruction online to protest the company's decision to cut ties ties with the gun group.
The videos show irritated NRA supporters blowing up, shooting or otherwise destroying Yeti coolers and tumblers in response to a report that Yet from the NRA Institute for Legislative Action was ending its affiliation with the NRA, according to The Washington Post.
Former NRA president and top lobbyist Marion Hammer told members in a letter last week that Yeti abruptly "Declined to do business with The NRA Foundation" and wouldn't say why.
The right has become just as whiney as the left. If these Tumblr idiots actually wanted to win they would just shut the fuck up and give their opponents enough rope to hang themselves. They won't tho
For some reason, people who boycott things cannot resist telling others about it. I think most of us normal(ish) people on here have certain companies we don't buy from, but I can't imagine any part of my day being a discussion with other people about what yogurt companies they should patronize.
Don't think I own a Yetti cooler but if I did it would make a nice stand for .22 targets at the outdoor range.
With the coordinated assault on gun rights by the left since the school shooting, this sort of thing is understandable. Its not really stupid, its saying if you want to virtue signal as a business be ready to lose business too. If shooting up a $20 cooler is the way of sending your message, fine, you blow far more than that on ammo every range trip.
It's stupid but it's a way to show the company they goofed. I don't care enough to make a Facebook post to them showing my disdain at their move so my coolers lives are safe.
I will go out of my way to not buy their products though cause fucked. Businesses need to learn to just shut the fuck up about politics.

I like how the NRA has become a full blown cult.

That feeling when you realize we're living in an actual golden age of mental illness.

Isn't the name Yeti cultural appropriation?

A lot of rednecks actually look like yetis.

Looking directly at an abominable mayoman might cause snowblindness though.

That is old news. They are like since (and I'm sure before) Obama got elected.

Which is more peak mayo:
2 cute instagram girls with stiff, wooden, mannish voices blow up Yeti cooler for more attention
The Hill (despite only 3 videos on YouTube I can find where people are doing this) writes an article about it
