This is the response I got:
We’re writing in response to your recent email inquiry.
A few weeks ago, YETI notified the NRA Foundation, as well as a number of other organizations, that we were eliminating a group of outdated discounting programs. When we notified the NRA Foundation and the other organizations of this change, YETI explained that we were offering them an alternative customization program broadly available to consumers and organizations, including the NRA Foundation. These facts directly contradict the inaccurate statement the NRA-ILA distributed on April 20.
Further, the NRA-ILA stated in that same public communication that “[YETI has] declined to continue helping America’s young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities.” Nothing is further from the truth. YETI was founded more than 10 years ago with a passion for the outdoors, and over the course of our history we have actively and enthusiastically supported hunters, anglers and the broader outdoor community. We have been devoted to and will continue to directly support causes tied to our passion for the outdoors, including by working with many organizations that promote conservation and management of wildlife resources and habitat restoration. From our website to our film footage and from our social media posts to our ambassadors, YETI has always prominently featured hunters pursuing their passions. Moreover, YETI is unwavering in our belief in and commitment to the Constitution of the United States and its Second Amendment.
Thanks for reaching out to YETI.
That sounds like a BS response to me. They basically told the NRA they were welcome to be treated like any other consumer. They are more interested in the REI crowd than the NRA crowd and tried to pull a fast one.
Austin people... screw Yeti.
My response to Yeti:
“Enjoy such business you will find at places like REI. As a lifelong NRA member, shooting sports enthusiast and outdoorsman, you will be getting none of mine.
When you pissed on the NRA and gun owners, you pissed on me. Don’t tell me it’s raining.
With heartfelt contempt for Yeti -
