A tax break that could benefit Delta is now under question amid the airline's decision to cut ties with the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Georgia's House of Representative voted in favor of legislation last week that would eliminate a state tax on jet fuel. If the bill passes, it is expected to save Delta tens of millions of dollars. 

In just a weekend, though, everything has changed. 

Two weeks ago, a Florida school shooting left 17 dead. As a result, Delta became one of several companies to disregard its relationship with the NRA. The shooting has brought to life the debate over gun control, one that occurs every few months in this country.

On Saturday, Delta announced that it would end discounted rates for NRA members, a decision that "reflects the airline's neutral status in the current national debate over gun control." 

Georgian Republicans are not taking that decision lightly. CNN Money reports that the state's Republicans — including a major candidate for governor — are threatening to kill part of the bill.

Chuck Hufstetler, chairman of the state's Senate Finance Committee, said, "we felt that it was wrong for them to single out one company."

Delta is not the only company to sever its ties with the NRA. Since Thursday, there have been over a dozen other companies like United Airlines, FedEx and Hertz who cut ties with the NRA.

Rick Jeffares, a Republican who is running for lieutenant governor, also criticized the airline. 

"Delta is now seeking a $40 MILLION TAX BREAK from the Georgia Legislature," he posted on his campaign website. "Should Delta be rewarded for their attack on the NRA? I say, 'NO!'"

As the debate continues, many took to Twitter to express their views on the airline.

Of course, some felt like Delta was totally out of line.

A lot of people, including politicians, fully supported the Georgia-based airline's decision.
