Cloud-based software giant Salesforce is in turmoil over its relationship with the National Rifle Association.
Project Veritas recently obtained an email sent by Ray Shipley, Salesforce’s senior director of technology partnerships. In the email, Shipley pleads with his colleagues to “stop the cycle of unimaginable violence” by ending “our customer relationship with the National Rifle Association.” (RELATED: Democrats’ Gun Control Distraction Won’t Solve Our Problems)
WATCH:
Project Veritas has more on the contents of Shipley’s email:
“For me, that is having Salesforce end our customer relationship with the National Rifle Association,” Shipley said in the e-mail. He then hyperlinked to a letter to be delivered to Salesforce leadership which calls for an end to their contract with the NRA adding, “My ask to you is that you co-sign this letter.”
Shipley adds that it’s “unconscionable” that the NRA can use Salesforce’s software for marketing and fundraising. (RELATED: As Gun Sales Soared, the Number of Violent Crimes Committed With Guns Plummeted)
Shipley has gotten over 4,000 employees to sign the letter so far. Additionally, Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff has repeatedly expressed support for gun control, as Project Veritas notes:
Salesforce, which is a publicly-traded company, has proudly embraced activism under its Chief Executive Officer, Marc Benioff, who once referred to himself as an “activist CEO.”
Salesforce declined to comment on this story.
Salesforce leadership has given in to targeted pressure campaigns from left-wing employees before. In 2021, the company deplatformed Project Vertias. At the time, executives called the move a “business decision.”

Its great sadness that society is producing deranged youth that are bent on outdoing the previous deranged killer. However a look at history shows the greatest of deranged killers murdered in the numbers of millions. Our atrocity here is shocking but just around the globe the atrocity is uncomprehensible. This is evil in its purest form. Had our forefathers not been victims of the same evil we as good men would have no way to defend against such evil as the millions that have become its victims. Lets solve a problem in our society, not give evil more fertile ground and disarm those who stand in its way. We are America, we are trying to come to the rescue of Ukrane, Vietnam Europe. Who will America turn to when evil comes for us.
There has always been a very small minority that had disrespect of human life, but since Roe V. Wade, it has grown out of proportion to the point were it endangers our 1st and 2nd Amendment freedoms, and leaves a high body count in its wake.
It is the disrespect for human life, whether by Mental Illness or just plan Evil, that plagues our society, Not the tools that they use to carry out their deadly deeds.
There are currently many more firearms in the United States than we have population. If guns were the cause of the problem, we would all be dead by now. It is the sick person, either mentally or morally, that has caused our society to go into a tailspin.
The answer isn’t gun control, it is SELF CONTROL.
As an outsider looking in, I am an English expat with no axe to grind, but I totally agree with your comment. The Democrats are screaming for tighter gun control, but every sensible person knows that does not work, the cities with the highest gun crimes are all Democrat run, with the tightest gun legislation!! There are two factors that can never be controlled, the criminal element and the mentally deranged individuals who do a shooting on a whim!! On top of that, there is a readily available black market for weapons created by the cartels because the southern border isn’t secure, so if anyone is to blame it should be Biden!! Guns are not bad, just the morons who use them, but the Democrats seem to have this philosophy of blaming the gun rather than the person using it!! It seems to fit their agenda better, no more guns means no more crime, which is a total fallacy!!
All the liberal trash is doing is aiding in pushing decent people to the point where the illegal government can use the military to quell a riot by said decent people using Milley’s hand picked trash.
You people that hate guns need to stop acting like dip sh**ts and quit trying to ban our guns or making more useless gun laws that will not stop crazy people from going on killing sprees, think about how many crazy people use cars to run over multiple people to kill them.. Do you think banning certain cars or giving them less gas will stop crazy people from using cars as a weapon to kill people? Not
A meaningful discussion to find a solution begins when each side accurately states its objectives. First off, AR 15’s are not military assault weapons of war. No country in the world used them. If the left’s objective is to nullify the 2nd amendment, then be honest and so state that. Let’s not forget what has happened to unarmed citizens in the past. Canada and New Zealand are good current examples.

AR-15 the best for home protection, even grandma can handle it’s smooth recoil!
