Right or wrong, it seems like Yeti may have made a strategic mistake here.
The lesson I learned, if I run some business, is to stay TF away from go. Don't get involved, don't get political on this one (or any). Again, I say this as an NRA life member. Look at these rental car places and hotels and what-not. You're going to piss off half your customer base if you do something and if you do not. And how much business did Hertz get from NRA members? It is a commodity, most folks price shop.

I said it above, but I don't see YETI pulling support for 2A or anything of that sort (yet), I see them ending a donation / discount for the NRA. In which case it is sort of bullying. I also suspect there was no official "letter" but probably just an informal phone call canceling the orders.

I usually go to WaPo to laugh at the posters and commenters, but they were 100% right on this one yesterday in their excoriation of the "typical" NRA member as they're exploding coolers, looking like uneducationed and senseless rednecks.
