"I will kill any tax legislation that benefits @Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with @NRA," Cagle said Monday."

"In addition, if a passenger displays a current NRA membership card, the Delta ticket agent will immediately upgrade the passenger to First Class."

Yes. Too bad. We should all boycott them, but the government should not be involved. There is a name for a government that seeks to control corporations, and it is not “republic”.

Delta should return the money they received in the form of subsidies after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Some of that tax money was from NRA members.

I wish enough people will boycott Delta to put it out of business. I’m sick of left wing fascists.

I do think that Delta may not have considered the consequences of their knee-jerk response. It is like their handling travelers with guns. They screw with us—flag us on departure, our bags are zip-tied and have to be picked up in the baggage claim, and are marked for everyone to see that they have a gun in them—not nice when leaving the airport. Further, you cannot check-in online for your return flight because you have ‘special conditions’. I travel a lot, always bring my gun unless going to a non-2nd amendment state, and have found that ONLY Delta airlines singles out and punishes gun owners. Their parting with NRA is no surprise. Personally I did not know, as a life member of NRA, that I had a discount available.

Government doesn’t have to give Delta special tax breaks, either.

Great! This is the kind of action needed against these freedom hating leftist.

If I used Delta, I’d boycott the s**t out of these AH’s for sticking their noses into this firestorm.

They asked for it.

The great irony is that NRA has NOTHING to do with it. The hullabaloo about NRA is merely a straw man hurriedly set up by the loony left to deflect from Federal, State and local law enforcement and school board’s dereliction and malfeasance in every aspect of the case.

I have already stated that I do not think government should provide welfare to corporations.

But corporate welfare should end whether or not a particular corporation supports a particular private organization.

He should also take Delta and United off the state’s approved vendor list. And announce that state employees who use a company not on the approved list will not be reimbursed for the expenditure.

Way past time. They are deep state controlled by the corrupt banking system. It’s time the states sink the economic system as we know it.

as much as I disapprove of the airline breaking its partnership with the NRA. I hate seeing government officials using there position in government to punish the airline....that is just wrong. it is a abuse of power when any government agency is used to punish specific organizations and business for what they engage in politically I don’t want to see a person in a elected position doing anything but enforcing laws passed or passing laws

Does Delta Airlines offer discounts to the baby killers of Planned Parenthood?

Well, Delta will just have to go to some federal court and demand the $40 million. They’ll get it.
