The National Rifle Association is hot and bothered after cooler company Yeti put its relationship on ice.

The NRA posted a peeved statement on its website late last week saying that the company no longer wishes to be a vendor for the lobbying group but did not explain why.

Former NRA President Marion Hammer said that the decision, which comes after the NRA has been criticized for attacks on survivors of the Parkland school shooting, “isn’t sportsmanlike.”

Some supporters upset that they would have fewer Yeti discounts called for a boycott of the goods, which are hard-sided coolers popular at tailgates and other parties.

2. Trump-worthy temper tantrum of anger and "unfair"

Blowing up something because you don't like what it does? Respect boundaries much?

BTW, "unsportsmanlike" is a euphemism for the Trumpian term "unfair"!!!

8. :) Some of humanity's duds proving their mettle.

What on earth are their poor families thinking?

I feel a sudden need to tell our children I'm proud of them.

9. I hadn't heard about this..... Yeti is going to get my business.

Glad to see more companies standing up to the NRA terrorists.

11. Yeti got those clowns' business, as well.

It's not like Yeti gave them those coolers that they shot up. Now, they're out not only the coolers, but the money that THEY gave to Yeti for them. Brilliant!

14. Yes! Destroy more of your own personal possessions!

Make sure you video the process so we can see!

In fact, buy multiples of the product you're angry at and make sure you get the footage from different angles!

10. So mature. Exactly the sort of folks to be trusted with high powered weapons

[LakeArenal]

12. Didn't the company say something to the effect of...

Please buy all our coolers to blow them up.. We will make lots more with the profits?

[forgotmylogin]

15. They could make a commercial with this footage...

"Yeti: The NRA Hates Us, and We're Proud!"

[Devil Child]

13. Tantrum throwing children

[Neema]

16. Is a Yeti cooler something you buy multiple times? Because they are pretty spendy and from what I

hear very sturdy. So these morons aren't really hurting the Yeti company if they waste their money destroying a perfectly good cooler they already bought.

It makes me think of all the people who tweet JK Rowling to tell her they are burning her books. She's like ooookay. You already paid for it so no skin off my nose. I love her.
