Gun-control activists are organizing boycotts of companies with ties to the National Rifle Association — and they’re already producing results.
People on social media are calling for boycotts of companies that offer or have offered special deals to NRA members who, as part of their membership, receive discounts on things like car rentals and prescription drugs.
While companies such as FedEx and Hertz still offer such discounts, other companies have cut ties.
Here are all the brands that have cut ties with the gun-rights group after the recent boycotts as well as past efforts by gun-control activists.
