Delta ending discount for NRA members

Delta Air Lines announced Saturday it is ending a discount for National Rifle Association members.

The move comes as some other businesses broke ties with the NRA amid debate over gun control in the wake of the Parkland school shooting in Florida earlier this month.

"We will be requesting that the NRA remove our information from its website," Delta said in a written statement.
