JUST IN: FedEx issues statement on its relationship with the NRA: "FedEx is a common carrier under Federal law and therefore does not and will not deny service or discriminate against any legal entity regardless of their policy positions or political views."




Who said anything about discriminating or denying service? The CEO of Fed Ex is a right wing asshole.

1. Domestic terrorist organizations should get the special treatment of not being able to team up with.

2. Gaslighting from FedEx now? Fuck you -eom

3. That's a fair position for them to take.

4. No , it's not. Nobody's calling for denying them service.

They'd just have to pay the same price THAT EVERYBODY ELSE PAYS.

5. Its a huge lie to claim theyre being asked to discriminate. Lying isnt fair.

6. It's a pivot from the actual premise, I can see why you think it's fair.

It's a pivot from the actual premise, and addresses a concern no one has argued. It's a logical fallacy made simply to wrap defecation in a shiny box.

I can see why you think it's fair.

7. LOL! Shocked, shocked I tell you, that you should say such a thing.

16. FedEx gives discounts to NRA members specifically

The idea that they must continue to do so because of anti-discrimination law is laughable at best.

8. They're not being asked to deny service - of course they couldn't do that.

They're just being asked not to give NRA members a discount, which isn't a denial of service. NRA members just wouldn't be getting special rates and would have to pay the same as everybody else.

9. How is removing a discount no one else gets 'discrimination?' Fuck Fedex.

14. I did a lot of research

on Mr. Smith... a Republican for sure (but not hardcore) but I would guess the decision is based purely on money and because of their business model, they will not be affected adversely

12. The U.S. Postal service is cheaper and just as good.

Most companies will ship USPS if you ask.

13. misleading statement from FedEx

but not surprised that they will not call out NRA... most of FedEx business is B to B and they don't have a lot to lose

15. I will no longer use FedEx Smartpost. Lets vote with our $$$.

We should boycott them.

[Liberal In Texas]

17. No more FedEx for me.

Never thought much of them in the first place, prefer to use USPS when possible and UPS when I can't.
