FedEx Throws Gun Owners Under The Truck

[holdover]

I went to mail a rifle scope at UPS , They asked me whats in the box, I said a rifle scope. They said sorry We cant ship gun parts. I said why not? They said its against the law. I said WTF are you talking about? How do you think I bought it? They said It is, I said you don't know what your talking about . I left the store and because it was late, I had to go to another UPS store, they said whats in the box? I said cookies. off she went.

WTF?? You used to be able to pick up a decent M1 Garand at the hardware store or pawn shop . now you cant even ship a scope.

Ironic how the Jews hate the 2a. That’s why they gave their guns to Hitler right?

It is the media that gives their viewers the impression that most Jewish folks are anti guns . They are not any more anti gun percentage wise than the rest of our population. The media also portrays Black folks as thugs and lowlifes ... They are not .. only a small percentage are ... They get the most attention though. IF it bleeds it leads ... The media have done very well in dividing this nation. ... They are not reporting the news ... They try making it. .. So sad

 

[Criticalt]

Your gas, your food, your car, your state, your clothes, your medicine..... All anti gun.

My food is grown by very pro gun people.
I dont know about where my gas originates but the guy that sells it to me is very pro gun.
My Chevy truck? I dont know but they advertise to hunters and have several gun add ons at the dealer......gun safe, gun racks, locking rifle boxes..........
Even their commercials feature guys duck hunting.

All that said, I dont really care unless they start denying me service because of my gun ownership.

 

[Criticalt]

Your gas, your food, your car, your state, your clothes, your medicine..... All anti gun.

Your post got me thinking, so I wanted to do some research.
I posted that I get my propane from a very pro gun guy.
However, I didnt know where he got the propane he sells.
So I called him.
He said his propane comes from United Refining in Warren PA.
I thought thats where it came from, we live 20 miles from the refinery.
United Refining employs over 4,000 people.
I know many people that work there, its a small community.
I knew that many high level employees were very pro 2A and many carry at work.
So, I wanted to go up the ladder, all the way to the top.
This is where it gets interesting.
The CEO of United Refining is John Catsimatidis.
He is a real character.
Hes a Grrek born billionaire who has given money to many politicians in both parties.
He gave money to Hillary Clinton in 2008, but voted for Trump in 2016.
He says Trump, Rudy Giuliani are close friends, as well as Chuck Shumer and Bill Clinton.
He ran for mayor of NYC as a Republican.
He says he is a big supporter of the constitution and ALL its amendment's.
He has carried a gun for 35 years, and supports people protecting themselves.
He calls himself a Republican Liberal.
He believes in personal responsibility and capitalism.
However, he also believes in caring for the less fortunate through welfare programs.
He believes in law and order and getting rid of "hoodlums".
However, he thinks "stop and frisk" is bad.

He is a very strange man but appears to be pro gun....sort of.
Heres a excerpt of an article with quotes from him.
"The conversation turned from political tussles to real-world fights. Had he ever been in one? “You know I’ve carried a gun for 35 years. I got into a fight in 1984 outside our store on 84th and York. There were three guys holding up our store and I captured one of them. I never fired the gun but I took the guy, put the gun to his head, told him I’m good to blow his head off, and he fell to the ground, dropped his sawed-off shotgun, and the other two guys that were running away started firing their guns … So I captured the one guy and eventually we captured the other two guys and when the sergeant came to check my gun — the police showed up about two minutes later, they wanted to check my license … the sergeant said, ‘You forgot to take it off safety.’”



Was he armed at the moment? “I can’t tell you. I’ve carried one for 35 years.”



But he is far from a political sibling of the GOP politicians that talk about the Second Amendment in Washington,D.C.“I promoted myself as a fusion ticket,” he continued. “I was running as a Republican liberal. I believe business has to do well, and that the surrounding communities do well. That is pro-people and pro-business and pro-safety in our streets, the traditional Jacob Javits Republicans or Nelson Rockefeller Republicans. And unfortunately, the younger generation doesn’t even know who those people are.”"

Don't drive yourself crazy over this. You contribute to anti 2A people all the time and it's impossible to boycott it all. Ben and Jerry's perhaps. This forum's operating system. Some guy who's working overtime at the Chevy plant. The car dealer's clerk. Your bank. Some tool you bought at a mom and pops's hardware store that you specifically went out of your way to get so as not to give your money to Home Depot. Ect....

Hell, that bracelet that you bought your girlfriend is probably anti gun.

Of course, I really dont care where someone stands on guns. You dont need to school me, ive been around a long time.
I just thought this guy was a character.
Ive never seen a person more politically "center" as this guy.
If more politicians were like him, maybe something could get done.

FedEx has been fucking gun owners for a long time!
I shipped my Dead Dads pistols by FedEx. they charged me of overnight shipping and i had to go to the airport to ship.
Six days later the package arrived, no refund!

 

[Phazer]

Ironic how the Jews hate the 2a. That’s why they gave their guns to Hitler right?

1. Learn some history about gun registrations and confiscations in Weimar Germany in the 1920s and 1930s.
2. "Jews" do not hate the 2nd amendment. Secular Jews that have Liberalism as their primary religion, as do all Progressives, hate the 2nd Amendment.
3. Jews For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership

i belong to a range and we have a lot of orthodox jews. they are very ProGun!

FedEx Will Keep NRA Discounts Despite Calls for Boycott

The courier said it “has never set or changed rates for any of our millions of customers around the world in response to their politics, beliefs or positions on issues.” ​

 

[Joe Blow]

I went to mail a rifle scope at UPS , They asked me whats in the box, I said a rifle scope. They said sorry We cant ship gun parts. I said why not? They said its against the law. I said WTF are you talking about? How do you think I bought it? They said It is, I said you don't know what your talking about . I left the store and because it was late, I had to go to another UPS store, they said whats in the box? I said cookies. off she went.

The first place you went were obviously idiots and didn't have a clue as to what they were talking about. I'm guessing it was a UPS store, not a hub. The UPS stores are private businesses and don't have a clue.
Save yourself some time and money and create a UPS account online. Package and bill your item(s) yourself. Print the label, attach to package, hand off to the driver of the big brown truck. If I'm gonna be out and about I'll bring packages with me and hand 'em off to the driver of the big brown truck while on the road just in case the regular guy doesn't happen to come my way on a given day. Around here they're great. When they deliver they'll ask what ya getting now? I'll bring 'em into the garage and open packages up so they can see certain things and we'll discuss gun items / laws / issues.
FedEx guy is great also. Only thing he hates is that the ammo comes FedEx so he carries the weight!

NRA boycott: FedEx to keep its discount; 10 companies drop gun group
FedEx is sticking with the National Rifle Association, even as other companies drop the organization in the wake of the deadly school shooting in Florida.

The shipping company said it will continue to offer discounts to NRA members and "has never set or changed rates for any of our millions of customers around the world in response to their politics, beliefs or positions on issues."

The Memphis, Tennessee-based company said, however, it's positions on gun policy and safety are different from those of the NRA.

"FedEx opposes assault rifles being in the hands of civilians. While we strongly support the constitutional right of U.S. citizens to own firearms subject to appropriate background checks, FedEx views assault rifles and large capacity magazines as an inherent potential danger to schools, workplaces, and communities when such weapons are misused," the company said in a statement.

FedEx's refusal to end its NRA discount led to the creation of the #BoycottFedEx hashtag on Twitter. Among those sharing the message was David Hogg, a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the site of the Feb. 14 attack that resulted in the deaths of 14 students and three teachers.

[Joe Blow]

And good for them (FedEx). They are entitled to their opinion (they oppose "assault rifles" in the hands of civilians) as is every business. That they aren't going to change their business model because of the current political climate is a good thing.

 

[Shadow2]

UPS store or random shipping store, Any normal facility knows they can ship complete guns.

I went to mail a rifle scope at UPS , They asked me whats in the box, I said a rifle scope. They said sorry We cant ship gun parts. I said why not? They said its against the law. I said WTF are you talking about? How do you think I bought it? They said It is, I said you don't know what your talking about . I left the store and because it was late, I had to go to another UPS store, they said whats in the box? I said cookies. off she went.

WTF?? You used to be able to pick up a decent M1 Garand at the hardware store or pawn shop . now you cant even ship a scope.

Your gas, your food, your car, your state, your clothes, your medicine..... All anti gun.

Gas: I try to buy most of my fuel from Kwik fill which gets its fuels from united refining in pa which according the @Criticalt ‘s research at least isn’t anti 2a.

Food: raise all my own meats so that’s covered. Everything else I shop at wegmans. Not sure where they stand. Go out to eat occasionally. Usually smaller, local restaurants although I’m sure I’ve given money to an anti 2a one.

My car: 20 year old dodge pickup. Not sure where Chrysler stands but they didn’t get anything from me directly. And my brother is a Chrysler tech and he’s pro 2a and does any repairs I can’t handle.

State: yea, fucking ny

Clothes: no idea. Most of my work clothes come from tractor supply. My initial thought is they don’t seem anti 2a. Sell gun safes and a little hunting and shooting stuff.

Medicine: no idea on the few medicines I’ve taken. My doc is a friend and very pro 2a. Shoot with him. He knows I’m always armed.

I direct market all my farm’s products to consumers and I’m to the far right of the pro 2a crowd. And I always conceal carry. Does that count?

Well the kwik fill thing is not totally true. Most of their locations in Buffalo and Rochester area get thier fuel from Buckeye terminals. Brooks Ave in Rochester and Elk St. In Buffalo. That fuel comes up the Buckeye pipeline through Horseheads NY, I don't get to that terminal anymore but I imagine if there is KFs down there it comes from there. That is not gas from United refining. I'm not sure where the head/input is on that line but it's not Warren.

In fact United in Warren was shut down last week(mantainence i think) and Buffalo buckeye was backed up with trucks. There was a time when KF gas came out of Canada, some may still. It's all about price, when you load 12K gallons on the wagon a 1/10 of a cent a gallon makes a big deal especially when you have 50-60 truckloads/day being pulled.

United has a terminal in Tonawanda NY, all there fuel comes up from Philly through Sunoco's SXL pipeline. I'm not sure but I think the only thing they get is distillates, diesel, kero or jet anymore.

I always laugh when I see those commercials and know first hand it's just a bit misleading.

 

[Cooolone]

Who gives a shit what FedEx thinks?

They're hypocrites through & through... Just like all the other corps, actors, associations, etc. They make money off of guns, violence and the military especially... So fuck them!

Honestly, I don't care what others think about me, bout how I live, or how I exercise my "RIGHTS"...
