Lawmakers in Georgia removed a $38 million tax exemption for jet fuel from tax-cut legislation on Thursday in a move that will punish Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines.

Republicans vowed to remove the exemption after the airline cut ties with the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Georgia's Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle (R), who is also running for governor, had threatened to kill any tax legislation that benefits Delta after the company's decision to end a discount program for NRA members.

[...] "I will kill any tax legislation that benefits @Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with @NRA," Angle tweeted earlier this week.

    Funny that you think I'm a Democrat. Even funnier that you say all that after TRUMP suggested grabbing the guns first, "due process" later. (Yes, unlike Obama, TRUMP is actually coming for your guns) Also funny that you think I am against the 2nd amendment.

    OTOH, the NRA jumped the shark when it started giving awards out to people for things other than gun rights support or advocacy.

    Looks like I pressed a button and your knee jerked so hard you broke your nose. You should get that looked at.

    To be fair, Trump wants due process [twitter.com] for those accused of domestic violence, sexual assault and sexual harassment.

      Where does the Constitution give the power to the government to limit firearm ownership to "accused of domestic violence, sexual assault and sexual harassment." Not even convicted, just accused.
