WATCH: Gun nuts are shooting their $300 Yeti coolers after the company cut ties with the NRA

[Arkansas Granny]

Yeti manufactures rugged outdoor coolers that are normally quite pricey, as a single Yeti cooler costs between $250 and $350.

Although traditionally loved by hunters, Yeti this past weekend angered many of its own gun-toting customers when it cut ties with the National Rifle Association.

The howls of protests from NRA members included outraged gun owners filming themselves defacing and even shooting their Yeti coolers.

1. republigunner hissy fit has ZERO impact on universe

but is anti-therapeutic for people who need to prove to themselves that they can pretend to be manly, or whatever.

7. these are same scum and delusionals who think they are going to stop Trump being removed via armed

rebellion if/when the orange shitcan get his just deserts.

They will get squashed like bugs.

2. If I shot a $300 cooler

My wife would shoot me.

[Sherman A1]

3. If only the coolers

Had guns, they would be able to defend themselves!

[rpannier]

4. If only a good cooler was there with a gun

The carnage could have been prevented

[Sherman A1]

5. Precisely

I see another NRA marketing avenue!

[rpannier]

8. Protecting the rights of coolers to keep and bear arms

Considering there were people stupid enough to buy rifles advertised as protection from the zombie apocalypse, there are probably enough people the NRA could sucker into buying guns for their coolers

[Sherman A1]

10. Yup,

I completely agree with you. I’ve never had a $300.00 cooler and see no need in my life for one, but I certainly would not shoot it up of otherwise destroy it, if I did have one.

Some folks seem to have more money than good sense......

26. NRA TV

come up with that brilliant idea? The NRA went down in the 70s.....it'll go down again I hope. Daily ginning up of gun news where there is none. Must be tough for a gun channel to stay relevant and entertaining these days.

6. Its true! You really cant fix stupid.

[Arkansas Granny]

24. I don't know how they think this will affect the Yeti company.

A boycott can hurt business because it will cause a decrease in sales. Conducting business with a competitor because of their stance on an issue can also cause a decrease in sales. However, destroying something you have already purchased has no impact on the company at all.

9. Now, if we can just get a shoe company to break with the NRA . . . .

[Rorey]

14. !!!

[Docreed2003]

11. Dipshits...

Way to shit on an expensive, practical, and very effective product morons!!

[Vinca]

12. People dumb enough to shoot their $300 cooler should not own guns.

[HopeAgain]

13. It's all about this machoistic white redneck image

Most NRA gun lovers are wedded to the jacked-up pickup truck, camo wearing, pretend bad ass, self image that makes white people look foolish.

The NRA is manipulating their simple brain for purposes they can't even comprehend.

[oasis]

15. Yeeeehaw!

[LiberalFighter]

16. Why are they so expensive?

[NCTraveler]

18. They really are better than most anything out there.

Their construction is very solid. Many fisher persons on small boats use them as you can stand on top of them without warping them.

It’s not necessarily that they are so expensive. It’s that most of their competition is running with the same old standards to bring down costs.

[NCTraveler]

17. Great cooler if you have the money. Nt

[IADEMO2004]

19. Hope their families are in a safe place. Anger counseling needed.

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. I'd love a yeti cooler. They can give theirs to me instead of shooting them!

[DFW]

21. What will happen to all those pickups if Ford Motor does the same? n/t

[Homer Wells]

22. And the YETI manufacturers say, 'SO'?

It's all good for them.
These yahoos have already shelled out the 300+ bucks, and, once this latest kerfuffle blows over, they will most likely buy a new cooler from them. WIN/WIN.
😆

[Arkansas Granny]

25. Exactly. A boycott might have a detrimental effect on a company, but destroying something that you

have already paid big bucks for won't hurt Yeti at all.

[Whiskeytide]

23. DONT SHOOT THE COOLER. PUNISH IT...

...Send your snowflake Yeti cooler to my YETI COOLER CONCENTRATION CAMP. Here at the YCCC we will force your Yeti to sit for hours in the sand under a blazing sun. We may fill it with smelly fish. We will force it to attend youth softball and baseball tournaments. We may even let our lab mix sit in it. That’s right. Dog ass on your Yeti Cooler. That’ll show it.

Shooting it puts it out of its liberal misery too quickly. May it PAY for its betrayal.

[SWBTATTReg]

27. What's scary about this is ...

what will the gun owners (the rabid ones, most gun owners are resp. citizens) do when other products and / or persons cut their ties w/ the NRA? Are their members going to shoot up the place or product(s) too? Scary about how these guys react to such news.

[Arkansas Granny]

28. Now it seems that Yeti didn't cut any ties with NRA, just revised one of their programs.

29. Thanks for the FYI...I seem to recall ...

another product recently that cut its ties to the NRA and they threw a hissy fit then too. It turned out that only under 10 products were sold under the NRA/product relationship. Only 10 or so. Not many. Kind of goes to show you that this of these gun guys do go overboard a little...scary.
