Georgia lawmakers scuttled a tax deal that would have benefited Delta Air Lines on Monday after Delta cut ties with the National Rifle Association.

Delta, which is headquartered in Georgia and has its largest hub at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, this weekend ended a discount it offered to NRA members, joining other companies such as United Airlines and Symantec in taking action after the Parkland, FL school shooting.

The Georgia Senate responded by blocking a $50 million jet fuel sales tax exemption, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday. Georgia Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, a Republican, tweeted that he would "kill any tax legislation that benefits @Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with @NRA."

"Corporations cannot attack conservatives and expect us not to fight back," Cagle continued.
