It didn’t take long for David Hogg to jump on the “boycott FedEx” movement after the shipping company announced they would not end their NRA discount.
Sell FedEx stock! If they wanna stick with NRA we'll stick with @usps or @UPS

Wouldn’t it be interesting if you’re forced to deal solely with USPS because UPS decides they don’t want to give up their NRA customers who purchase ammo and firearms?
Switched my business account to # UPS this morning. #NeverAgain

One person makes a world of a difference, huh?
@FedExHelp just to let you know, i will not use your services, and up here in Canada, we are all hoping the damn gun laws change to the south.

Why? Our gun laws don’t impact you.
David your 15 minutes of fame are up.. Your narratives are unreasonable and not rationale. You have know entered the space of exploiting your fellow students. What are you going to say to fellow students tat disagree with you?

He’ll probably call for their boycott next.
I'm all in favor of boycotts and other pressure, but public companies don't care if you sell their stock. That's just not how stocks work. My condolences for all your school has suffered, my admiration for your efforts, and good luck.

People sell stocks all the time. It’s the nature of the beast.
Not using @UPSHelp any longer, only @FedEx for the daily deliveries we get for our business, I understand this may hurt employees of these companies, but thanks David Hogg for that, you buckled for teen and blamed wrong people. It was #BSO & #FBI failure! #2ADefenders #IAmTheNRA

Unfortunately, that’s the game these businesses decided to play. When they got involved in politics, they chose a side. Now they have to live with that decision.
What's it to you who sponsors the NRA? The NRA had NOTHING 2 do w/ this. Go after the actual people that could have prevented this, you, your fellow students, your teachers, local law enforcement, the FBI, your father who was one. If he was such a threat you didn't go 2 him? why? pic.twitter.com/RabftmcqiB

Because the NRA is an easy target for people like Hogg.
FedEx is veteran owned by a man who won 2 purple hearts. My family and many other veteran families I know will always support them! You should be spending your time looking into all the fbi/police failures instead of going after our vets! #FedEx #veterans

Another reason to choose FedEx.
I just closed the @FedEx account I opened 17 years ago. Using @UPS from now on.

You really showed them, didn’t you?

You act like they don’t have access to the Internet and social media.
Gee, looking through all these replies, looks like @FedEx is going to me getting lots of new business. Listen kid, there are 120,000,000 gun owners who are adults with money. Don't play this boycott game, you lose before you start.
