FNB just cancelled their relations with the NRA, specifically the NRA VISA card that they carried. And since the NRA means more to me and my interests than does the FNB or any other spineless conglomerate, I'm taking my business elsewhere.
And if this is too controversial for this forum, I'll understand if the mods. delete the thread.

While not directly related to Lugers, I feel that the ultimate right to have them is, and these social and cultural issues are relevant and important. Always remember that this is an internationally constituted board and focused on Lugers, their collection and technology.

I keep my own BLOG and post things about gun control topics over there as well as on other gun boards where it's more commonly discussed:

Makes me wish I had one of their cards so I could let them know I was cancelling it and more importantly why.

This is a critical time for a show of strength, even simply thru NRA membership.

Just heard airlines are also coming down on the NRA, cancelling benefits and discounts. Book wisely...

Amongst them are Delta and United Airlines I heard.

I just took a "free" flight on Delta to SOS, I guess I put one over on them!

The NRA does not discriminate. You do not have to be a US citizen to join their ranks. If you live outside the confines of the US and are so inclined, please join. We could use all the help we can get.

FedEx is showing some cojones and standing with the NRA. Choose them over UPS or USPS, whenever possible.
