It’s always mass hysteria. Funny... when 50+ people die at a country concert at the hands of a random old man with a lot of money, the liberals are quiet. 17 people, mostly kids, die at a high school to a deranged, known assailant, and they’re frothing at the mouth.

If First National Bank of Omaha can cave to phony pressure that easily, it would be interesting to get a list of all of the branded cards that they handle so that their “customers” for those other cards can pressure them too.

What’s good for the goose, etc.

Maybe First National Bank of Omaha ought to just get out of the branded credit card business right now.

I wonder how many of the bank’s customers are hunters? NRA members?

This is piss-poor public relations.

Prediction: The First National Bank of Omaha will wish they hadn’t caved to mob action

+1 - I don't think they'll get a second bite at that apple either. There are plenty of companies that would like the business, especially seeing how the economy is going and how fast money is moving these days.

Who will say, "oops" for them when the time comes?

Maybe USAA will be willing to double brand their credit card.

I probably average about $18k per year on this card. I called FirstBank and after waiting quite a while I got confirmation that they are ending their relationship with the NRA.

They don't plan to cancel existing NRA cards I don't think. I certainly plan to cancel mine. And I don't plan to wait long. I use this card for a lot of automatic payments so its going to be a pain to replace.

Is anybody aware of any other pro-gun credit cards?

I would do just that - you can bet that the ones complaining are a minority on the issue but they are all the bank heard from - actions speak...
