Again see above. I’m very well aware it’s Star Trek.

Yeah I figured as much, with your TWO degrees and all...

Yup.

I'm always suspicious of people who tout all of their fancy degrees.  

A degree in Econ is only  fancy in an Art History kind of way. 

Ya those pesky Economics and Finance Degrees, what with helping keep companies profitable and all. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe all it takes is a big set of manhood and an idea.

Well that’s the Degrees I have so what now?

Good for you.  It’s not everyone who has the opportunity to pursue degrees in those areas. 

You nerds are killing me

Our you could work in Supply Chain. Or Marketing. Or Advertising

Or lawn care, long haul trucking, genital technician, or just marry a rich person.

I’m constantly amazed at how perturbed random people on the interwebz get by other random people on the interwebz. 

Where do y’all get the time?!?!?

Before everyone gets too worked up, does anyone know which the "a number of other organizations" are from the Yeti statement? Before throwing Yeti out with the bath water, I would be interested to know which other groups were potentially treated similarly. After that, I guess it depends whether you believe Yeti or the NRA, which may have a vested interest in politicizing an otherwise non-political decision made by Yeti -- again, based on who you want to believe.

You strike me as a man with no time for tomfoolery! 

Too busy raising pigs, slaughtering pigs, cooking pigs.  

This thread certainly got hit with some jet fuel tonight (or NOLA’s fire oil). I couldn’t pull the trigger on the prices for YETI either pre or post NRA support. I do remember some douche on here giving all RTIC buyers crap about buying them when they came on the market w/ their aggressive pricing model.  Anyone remember that guy? I’d love to hear from him on this thread. 
Now the my pillow guy....that’s someone I could support for sure!

Yeti being ashamed? This is the same foundation that also trained Nikolas Cruz on how to get the most out of his weapon in both a youth program and educational program. You can't make this stuff up

Yes you *can* make this stuff up, and the rag newspaper you read did make it up.

Cruz was a member of the JROTC, which is funded by the US Army.  The school he attended applied for and happily accepted a grant from the NRA to assist with the JROTC program.  So why didn't the headline read "The US Army trained shooter" or "High school trained shooter"???? It wasn't an NRA instructor or syllabus....it was the Army.

So do you want to get rid of the JROTC and/or NRA marksmanship / safety training?

I'm a NRA instructor, range safety officer, and a CCW instructor for the states of MO and IL.  In order to get a permit in either state your have to be trained by a state approved and NRA certified instructor (meaning you went through a lot of training, background checks, spent a chunk of money doing it).  I know you dont like ccw, but wouldn't you rather have qualified people like myself teaching it?  

I understood it to be an after school program which was funded by the NRA, separate from ROTC, which also taught other students, not affiliated with ROTC. This was what I had read, and also had an ATF agent explain it to me.

He, like you, is a NRA supporter.

I will say it again, I am not an NRA fan, and will not be, until they become more active in finding solutions for curtailing the senseless slaughter of people by the use of firearms. They are the most powerful lobby in DC, therefore, the world. They need to up their game.

If they will recognize the issue at hand, and become more involved in passing legislation, demanding technology, and quit fighting any and all legislation (child gun locks as an example) that makes sense for safety, and stop proclaiming the end of the second ammendment, then I will give them credit.

I appreciate your passion, and think the world of you, but sometimes, people can't see the forest for the trees.

I do appreciate your work in the field. No complaints about that. I will never complain about any firearm training, no matter where it comes from.

But, come on man, to just keep claiming crazy people kill innocent people, so protect your guns, is not the answer to a problem we have here.

Nor will it ever. Either the NRA steps up their responsibility, not to just those that make them, but, also to all of those killed by them, or something worse will be inevitable.

It is time for the NRA to step it up.

I’ve learned a very valuable lesson here today. The internet is the worst invention in the history of mankind. Because everyone myself included is the smartest guy in any room. 

You may be the smartest guy.

I agree, politics and business does not provide the most advantageous landscape for business.

I still purchased Yeti, when they did support the NRA. I just feel better about them now.

Did you actually know that they supported the NRA when you made your purchase? 

Sure I did. I liked the product and still do. Just a lot better now.

Heartbreaking watching the Yeti desecration.  Speechless.

Are you devastated? 

No.  Only constipated.

My plumbers been on speed dial since I got back from NC

Everyone keeps saying the NRA is so powerful yet they aren’t on the list of top donors. The medical field is the big boy in Washington
