Tell me all about coolers....

...well, everything except Yeti, because they aren't cool enough now that Yeti isn't a NRA supporter, so people are now destroying their Yeti's.

Since YETI Coolers cut ties with the National Rifle Association, there has been outcry on social media and talk of a boycott of the fashionable coolers.

One South Carolina man was so unhappy about YETI's decision Monday that he got rid of his cooler — in spectacular fashion.

Bryan Atkinson filled his cooler with explosives, placed it in a field, then shot it with his AR-15 rifle. The huge explosion was captured on video, which the Hartsville man shared on Facebook.

As part of their incessant push for stricter gun control laws, the anti-gun left has sought to cast blame upon the National Rifle Association for every mass shooting.

Though the zealous attacks on the NRA from the anti-gun left have had the opposite effect than was intended in terms of increased NRA membership, the anti-NRA push has had some success on the corporate level as a handful of businesses have cut ties with the Second Amendment advocacy group.

That list of corporations who have abandoned the NRA and the gun owners among their customer base has grown to include Yeti, the outdoor-products company known for its popular high-end coolers, thermos-style mugs and other outdoor gear.

 

According to a statement from the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, Yeti coolers and other items have been popular among NRA members for several years, particularly as part of the Friends of the NRA Foundation Banquet and Auction events in which funds are raised for educational youth programs that help raise the next generation of outdoors conservationists, hunters and shooters.

“Suddenly, without prior notice, Yeti has declined to do business with The NRA Foundation saying they no longer wish to be an NRA vendor, and refused to say why,” stated Marion Hammer, executive director of the Unified Sportsmen of Florida and past president of the NRA.
