War on gun owners: Enterprise, Alamo, National end NRA discounts after liberal threats of boycott

It’s literally become impossible to have a national discussion about anything these days.  On Thursday, three major car rental companies buckled after threats of boycotts from anti-gun leftists and announced they would no longer offer discounts to members of the National Rifle Association (NRA).

According to Dallas News:

Three major car rental companies and a bank have ended discounts and deals for National Rifle Association members a week after the deadly mass shooting at a Florida high school.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Alamo Rent A Car and National Car Rental, all under the parent company Enterprise Holdings, have ceased discounts for NRA members.

The brands replyied to tweets Thursday stating that the discount would end effective March 26.

Moreover, the report said, the Nebraska-based First National Bank of Omaha, the nation’s largest privately owned bank holding company, will stop producing credit cards for the NRA.

“Customer feedback has caused us to review our relationship with the NRA,” the company said on Twitter. “As a result, First National Bank of Omaha will not renew its contract with the National Rifle Association to issue the NRA Visa Card.”

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Enterprise said on Twitter:

According to 100 Percent Fed Up, the effort seems to be led by the far-left Think Progress:

A radical leftist news site called ThinkProgress, has published a list of companies they’re asking their readers to boycott. One of the companies on the boycott list is Enterprise Holdings, who not only caved to the left, they are blowing up Twitter with multiple announcements that they will no longer be doing business with the NRA.

The report goes on to say that Avis Budget Group and Hertz— two rivals of Enterprise — still offered NRA discounts as of Thursday night.

News of the move did not sit well with gun owners:

This, by the way, is the modern left…
