Republican lawmakers in Georgia delivered on a threat to punish Delta Air Lines for cutting ties with the National Rifle Association on Thursday, March 1, by removing a lucrative tax break for the airline.

Delta announced earlier this week that it is ending discounts for NRA members in the wake of the Parkland, Florida, mass shooting that killed 17 people.
