The National Rifle Association (NRA) is alleging that it is facing financial danger after the state of New York pressured financial institutions to cut ties with the gun group.
The NRA claims in a lawsuit, obtained and first reported by Rolling Stone, that the state of New York sought to hurt the organization by urging financial institutions and insurers not to work with the gun group.
RICO?
It’s a lawsuit - NY State has unfairly targeted the NRA and as a result they have suffered financial loss. Cuomo should pay up.
The state has unlimited resources, but they can still be sued, both for damages, as well as provide PR against those politicians who made these highly political and unconstitutional decisions.
Other sources (Rolling Stone) were stating NRA will go away because of Financial loss. I guess the press is making a mountain out of an ant hill.
Congress and the federal government needs to step in and stop this effort to ban guns, supporters, and groups via financial sanctions. Seems Trump could address this, at least temporarily, via EO, similar to his Buy American, Hire American, that government agencies and contractors should do business only with financial institutions that do not discriminate against 2nd Amendment-related businesses. Those banks and institutions, those insurance companies, that opt to not work with otherwise legal companies and organizations, will be banned from doing business with the US or via our contractors.
Congress needs to create a long-term solution to prevent this end run around the Constitution that gun control groups and states are attempting.
“...by any means necessary.”
There are no constraints, no limits.
This does not seem fair.
There is something which never seems to amaze.
Whether it is the Outer Hebrides, Crete or the Pacific Islands, how did so many remote islands become heavily populated in really ancient times?
Oops. I meant to post that on another thread, obviously.
HA! As if we were snowflakes....
It's OK, man, I can sort of follow your point....
And here I thought you were saying something profound that I was too dumb to understand.
That was one deep metaphor.
I should have just kept quiet.
Spin. They are trying to make the term “financial difficulties”. sound like the NRA is in danger of going broke. It just means they have been harmed for the sake of the lawsuit.
Don’t have to serve a legal organization, but you have to serve homos.
LOL. You had me pondering something or other.
Sounds like a LIBERAL operation.
Report for six months that new enrollees are tying the system up, money rolling in cite record membership
THEN
turn around and claim broke.
Sounds like a great libel suit. Free cash that new yorkers get to fork over. They won’t notice. It’ll be a blip on their already sky high taxes.
