Update on my OP about FedEx

I recently posted regarding FedEx and their statement that the do not agree with the NRA but as a common carrier they were required to accept shipments. Also, the fact that NRA members can evidently get some sort of discount when shipping via FedEx. I was hoping to spark a discussion of when a boycott of a company was reasonable.

Interesting discussion on dropping NRA as 'partner' for discounts.

Well, thunderous news tonight. Everything that FedEx said was pretty much corporate smoke screen. See:

I wrote to Amazon on Sunday. Do you know if they have changed their support of the NRA or not?
