Two major companies, Enterprise Holdings Inc. and First National Bank of Omaha ended co-branding partnerships with the National Rifle Association Thursday as a #BoycottNRA social media movement picked up steam.

Enterprise is the parent company of three car-rental brands: Enterprise, Alamo and National. The arrangement offered discounts to NRA members.

This is dumb of them, they are going to lose a lot of customers that will maintain their own boycott permanently.

US Bank joined Omaha Bank. Chicken-shits, one and all!

This is really unfortunate. I got one of those cards through the NRA and they’ve always provided great service. Now I am forced to kick them to the curb - like they did us.

This is what Yelp is for.

If I have to rent a car again it will be with Hertz.

Enterprise’s loss.

Well it’s 5 days from Payday and my Crumbs will be invested into re-upping with the NRA. Usually only do it in presidential election years.

Are Enterprise Holdings Inc. and First National Bank of Omaha also going to boycott NRA members, that is, all people who support the NRA?

Millions support the NRA because they represent training, common sense, responsible, and competent gun ownership, that includes our military, our police, and others who guard their companies and banks.

Do these companies plan to get rid of any of their employees who own guns and NRA membership? Do these companies plan to boycott customers who are also NRA members (like me)? Why not?
