FedEx, UPS Trade Barbs Over NRA Ties After Florida Shooting - Bloomberg

The two biggest U.S. couriers are at pains to point out the other’s close relationship with the National Rifle Association.

FedEx Corp. on Tuesday trumpeted that the gun-rights group uses United Parcel Service Inc. for shipments from the online NRA store. “And not FedEx,” the company said by email, underlining the last two words of the sentence.

UPS responded quickly. Yes, it has a shipping deal with the NRA, it said. But it doesn’t offer special services for the group’s members. FedEx does, and that company said Monday that it would maintain its discounts for businesses and consumers who belong to the NRA.

NRA. The only organization in the world that gets blamed for crimes it's members do not commit.

This boycott makes no sense. If I were Mr. UPS, I would just keep my mouth shut.

Then why do they interject themselves into every debate about any type of gun restriction?

More of a rhetorical question really. You were crying about why the NRA gets in trouble for crimes committed by non-members

They certainly leave a stain on the reputation of the rest of the state
