Three Car Rental Firms Have Dropped Their Support For The NRA
Enterprise Holdings has cancelled a car rental discount scheme aimed at National Rifle Association (NRA) members in the US.
The Enterprise, National and Alamo car rental companies will stop offering incentives to NRA members as of 26 March. None of them would initially make a statement as to why, but the very obvious link is the latest school shooting in Florida, in which 17 people were killed by an ex-pupil-turned-terrorist carrying an easily-sourced semi-automatic rifle.
At the time of writing, car rental providers Avis and Budget still offer an NRA discount. Car buying service TrueCar has a special NRA members’ website that claims to offer extra discounts, while almost 20 other companies offer similar incentives.
First National Bank earlier this week cancelled a credit card promotion aimed at NRA members after “customer feedback.” It previously offered ‘the official credit card of the NRA.’ More commercial NRA supporters may decide to cut ties in the coming days and months.
UPDATE: Hertz car rental has also now cancelled its NRA discount scheme.

Why are people talking politics here. This is for car enthusiasts not a political debate
Politics on cartrotthle debating about NRA and car rental discounts? hell yeah!
They’re not cancelling the benefit because they feel bad about the shooting they’re cancelling them because the amount of liberals that boycott them has become larger than the amount of NRA members that favor them. The basics of business dictate that the customer is always right, so when customers loved guns, they were right. Now that the amount of customers that hates guns has increased, they’re right.
America……………………………… Why do companies even give discounts to stuff like this?!?!?!?!
In California, if you drink and drive, and killed someone on the road, you can do the following:
Yea, in America especially California, people refuse to take responsibility for what they do.
