In the wake of the Parkland shooting that left 17 high school students dead—and in response to nationwide protests against gun violence and the National Rifle Association’s grip on Congress—numerous companies have come forward in solidarity with gun control advocates.
More than 20 companies have announced they plan to end their partnerships with the NRA, and on Wednesday, Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods became the latest to raise their minimum age for gun buyers to 21. REI also joined the protest, by ending its relationship with Vista Outdoors, on Friday.
Of course, there are still numerous companies with ties to the NRA that have been silent, including FedEx. Celebrities have been calling for a boycott of Amazon until it ends NRAtv.
The NRA remains unphased—at least on social media—and it tweeted that the loss of discounts and partnerships would not sway their members.
“Let it be absolutely clear,” the NRA tweeted. “The loss of a discount will neither scare nor distract one single NRA member from our mission to stand and defend the individual freedoms that have always made America the greatest nation in the world.”
