On Tuesday, Hammer emailed Breitbart News a response to the Yeti statement. The statement said:

YETI severed ties with the NRA and is now engaging in damage control after a backlash from many of its customers. In early March, YETI refused to place a previously negotiated order from NRA-ILA, citing “recent events” as the reason – a clear reference to the tragedy in Parkland, Florida. YETI then delivered notice to the NRA Foundation that it was terminating a 7-year agreement and demanded that the NRA remove the YETI name and logo from all NRA digital assets, as well as refrain from using any YETI trademarks in future print material. While YETI is trying to spin the story otherwise, those are the facts. While Yeti can choose to run from the NRA, they can’t run from the facts.

Hammer concluded her statement by noting, “Whether this is due to the recent cancellation of the IPO from their New York City owners is a question only they can answer.”

What I would like is proof of who these other organizations were that were also notified.YETI needs to name names before I will believe them.

I'm not too good at this, but I sent the following email to Yeti:

"Due to your refusing sales to the NRA I will no longer purchase any of your products and I will encourage any and all not to either. You have not only lost the business of Corporate NRA but the business of millions of sportsmen who are members. You forget, we are the NRA."

I can hardly wait to see what/if they reply.

As a long time customer and owner of over a dozen yeti products, I was stunned to learn of the decision to cut ties with the NRA. Not only will I not purchase any more yeti products, I will to go out of my way to steer friends and family to the other brands that have closed the gap in recent years. Any yeti product I must use before it is replaced, will have a competitors decal placed over the yeti name.

I'm a Texan, fisherman, hunter, camper, comp BBQ cook... and no longer a customer. Although NRA members may not be your biggest market anymore (as you've gotten hip&trendy) remember who brought you to the dance. You have truly bitten the hand that feeds you.

I realize Austin has become the Berkeley of Texas, but I don't see a great market for your coolers to keep weed and granola at temp.
