These companies are always so cowardly. They see a hashtag on Twitter and it freaks them out.

Gun owners will boycott them.

This will backfire and will not go down well.

No matter how much the fake news media cheers it on.

Just renewed my membership a few minutes ago. Been a member since 2006.
And I don’t even own a gun.

This won’t work out well for the general economy. We need everyone talking, shaking hands, buying and selling. If these attempts to weaponize companies and put them in the line of political ideals, then so be it. Cutting off Enterprise. They need to just RENT cars and not get into the debates of school protection. Oh well, here we go.

This boycott will go the way of all liberal boycotts. Ordinary citizens will ignore it, and a few cowardly businesses will join the boycott, much to their detriment.

A bunch more companies just announced the same thing. I am not sure if this will backfire or not. Time will tell. Where are they getting the stat that 86 percent of the country wants to ban auto’s? I haven’t been asked.

We have to hit back immediately. Economic Warfare unchallenged will lead to economic defeat in a short amount of time.

We need our own boycott and we need to threaten to break up to company for being a monopoly.

You won't be missing much. Alamo and National are known for lousy customer service. Enterprise isn't usually price competitive.

Companies like Enterprise need NRA members way more than NRA members and supporters need them.

I just sent the NRA another donation, to get another Buck knife that I don’t need, and I did it because these sonofbitches will not tell Americans who we can ASSOCIATE with, the NRA, stands for National Rifle Association...you can look it up.
