Prevention of Gun Violence & Violence Against Women Working Group<\/a> C2A<\/strong><\/p>\n As a result of the <\/span>NRA\u2019s tone-deaf response<\/span><\/a> to the mass murder of students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in which the organization pushed back against calls for stricter gun control laws and said the media \u201clove mass shootings\u201d because they are \u201cratings gold,\u201d gun control advocacy groups began a campaign to take a bite out of the NRA\u2019s wallet. \u00a0#boycottNRA calls for companies to sever their ties to the NRA, including discount affiliates and gun retailers. Thanks to the backing of groups like <\/span>ThinkProgress<\/span><\/a>, the campaign has been highly successful, with many major corporations severing their relationships, and other companies like DICK\u2019s Sporting Goods, Walmart, and L.L. Bean, changing their gun sale policies to reflect the kind of gun control advocates wish to see Congress and state legislatures pass. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Flood the social media accounts of the following business to shame their ties to the NRA and\/or gun sales. These are just a few of the higher profile companies that do business with the NRA. If you\u2019re ready for more, check out this <\/span>comprehensive NRA Boycott list<\/span><\/a>. Twitter is highly effective for this kind of work, so if you don\u2019t yet have an account, <\/span>now is a good time to jump in<\/span><\/a>! ALWAYS use the hashtag #boycottNRA when sending messages to NRA-linked companies. And as much as you may want to throttle their CEOs, the most effective messages are the polite ones. So go high!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n NRA TV Streaming Services<\/b><\/p>\n AppleTV, Google’s Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku<\/span> stream NRA TV.
