The NRA is going broke, blames Andrew Cuomo

[Johan]

The National Rifle Association, America’s most powerful lobby, claims it’s in financial crisis. What?

The supposed culprit: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.


The deep-pocketed NRA claims it’s going broke and may soon “be unable to exist” — and blames Gov. Andrew Cuomo for its purported poverty, according to a recent court document that’s part of its lawsuit against the state.

The pro-*** lobby — which gave a record $21 million to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign — said it’s headed to the poorhouse because a state agency told insurers to cut ties with the association and slapped a $7 million fine on NRA insurance broker Lockton Cos.

The group had filed a federal lawsuit against Cuomo and the state in May, claiming New York launched an unfair “blacklisting campaign” against the association.
In the new court filing in late July, the NRA complained it couldn’t obtain financial services crucial to its operations and faced “irrecoverable loss and irreparable harm” after losing insurance coverage.
“Insurance coverage is necessary for the NRA to continue its existence,” according to the new document, which was first reported by the New York Law Journal.
Without liability insurance, the “NRA cannot maintain its physical premises, convene off-site meetings and events, operate educational programs … or hold rallies, conventions and assemblies,” the filing said.

NRA-TV may also be on the chopping block, the Oliver North-led association complained.
“The NRA’s inability to obtain insurance in connection with media liability raises risks that are especially acute; if insurers remain afraid to transact with the NRA, there is a substantial risk that NRATV will be ****** to cease operating,” the new filing said.

In the initial suit filed in May, the NRA claimed that Cuomo and state Department of Financial Services Superintendent Maria Vullo conspired to pressure financial institutions and insurers to cut ties with the group.
The state argued in a motion filed in early July that the insurers they targeted were selling coverage that ******** state law, according to the Law Journal’s report.
The insurance, called Carry Guard, provided coverage for any criminal defense bills and protection from civil suits an individual could face after using a *** in self-defense.
The state argued that the coverage was ******* because “New York state law prohibits insurance coverage to defense costs arising out of a crime.”

Dallas-based William Brewer III, lead lawyer for the NRA, told the Journal that the group was “suffering setbacks” because of the state’s actions.
“The amended complaint raises concerns about the material impacts to the NRA as a result of the actions of Governor Cuomo and DFS,” Brewer said in a statement about the new filing.
“Our client is suffering setbacks with respect to the availability of insurance and banking services — as a result of a political and discriminatory campaign meant to ****** financial institutions to refrain from doing business with the NRA. The actions of defendants are a blatant ****** on the First Amendment rights of our organization,” he continued.

Cuomo said Friday the state would file a motion seeking the dismissal of the NRA’s suit.
“New York will not be intimidated by the NRA’s frivolous lawsuit to advance its dangerous ***-peddling agenda,” Cuomo said in a statement.
“Donald Trump and Washington, DC may be bought and paid for by the NRA, but in New York we are listening to the voices of people across the nation calling for action to keep our communities safe. While the NRA tries to play the victim, New York stands with the real victims—the thousands of people whose lives are cut short by *** ******** every year.”

Funny how they blame Cuomo for their financial troubles while, in 2016, they outspend $46.000.000 and invested more than $50.000.0000 in GOP campaign financing...

Source of this article , please? If it is another mainstream media based article I won't believe it. I have seen plenty of libs on facebook posting it . Until something official comes from the mouth of an official from the NRA I will believe it, till then I won't. New York retarded *** laws are as bad as the ones found in California, both being the most anti *** states in the USA.

“The pro-*** lobby — which gave a record $21 million to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign”

This is a motherfucking lie. The NRA gives very little directly to candidates and they did not give Trump’s campaign 21 million dollars. They do spend money supporting candidates and advertise in support of pro 2nd amendment candidates. They are not a *** lobby. They are an organization made up of millions of pro second amendment Americans. They do not choose sides between manufacturers they simply advocate for the right to bear arms. Compare that to Planned Parenthood who are funded by taxpayer money and they give millions directly to candidates after having their hand out to us yearly to the tune of 500 million dollars.

“ The N.R.A. directly donated a total of just $1.1 million to candidates for federal office in 2016”

No he doesn't worry about France, he listens and believes in everything what Macron the fucking tool says to him. His naivety is beyond borders. He is like most the libs here, he will always vilify the NRA. You won't be able to reason him, it is a loss of time.

Thart part is actually true.

NRA is a criminal organisation
https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article195231139.html

And they've choosed a criminal for President
https://www.dw.com/en/nra-appoints-iran-contra-scandal-figure-oliver-north-as-president/a-43695612

If, as they say might happen, the NRA is "unable ot exist" anymore, that would be the best news in decades (but I strongly doubts it will happen, I think it's as scheme, I think they are intentionnaly exagerating their financial issues to spread fear among ***-owners and incite them to send money)

The NRA is made up of millions of law abiding citizens, it’s what constitutes the NRA. And that fact alone makes it one of the most non criminal entities on earth.

Can you find North’s current criminal record? I may be wrong but I don’t think there are any criminal convictions associated now with Lt. Col. Oliver L. North USMC Retired.

Non-sense. Juste because its memebers aren't criminals (althought I'm pretty sure some are) doesn't mrean the organisation itself has criminal purposes, criminal activities. But the fact that these memebers choosed convcted felon for president (Oliver North himself admitted he was part of the Iran-Contra scandal and was convicted for accepting an ******* gratuity, aiding and abetting in the obstruction of a congressional inquiry, and ordering the destruction of documents, thought he was the offered immunity in exchange for his testimony) speaks by itself.

Lt. Col.Oliver L. North USMC retired, does not have a conviction on his criminal record.

As if that changes what he did lol

Paul Manafort's accountant won't face any criminal convictions for what she did either, but they were still criminal acts.

North obstructs justice and the so-called law and order party embraces him as a hero. Classic conservative hypocrisy :thumbsup:

A judge threw out North’s charges and convictions. They were determined in a court of law to not be criminal acts and not be worthy of conviction. The law is on North’s side, political bias is on yours.

In light of the obstruction by Hillary Clinton, Lois Lerner, Loretta Lynch and others recently, you have a lot of nerve to point the finger at a man that went through the courts and came out unscathed. Perhaps your heroes should try it and see how they fare.

Was he found innocent ? No
Was he found guilty ? Yes
In others words he IS a crminal.

Anyway, frame it the way you want, it won't change the indeniable fact that the NRA is a criminal organisation, the most powerful the world has ever seen. Compared to Wayne Lapierre and Oliver North, crminals like Pablo Escobar or el Chapo are amateurs.

Trump says he won't recommend prosecution of Clinton, who he told New York Times reporters has "suffered greatly."

What's more, he said the idea of prosecuting Clinton is "just not something I feel very strongly about."

https://edition.cnn.com/2016/11/22/politics/conway-no-clinton-charges-donald-trump/index.html

Why ? I mean, during the campaign Trump continuously said he would have Hillary answering for the crimes she commited but after he was elected, he gave up. Why ?
Could it be because he knew this was a battle he couldn't win, to avoid the *********** of having Hillary cleared of all charges ?

Another campaign promise broken. Just like the wall, just like social securitry, just like most of all the promises he made.

So as usual you will vilify and portray NRA members and board of directors and its members as terrorists??? How igorant and typical from you. Charlton Heston used to support the NRA, so he was a terrorist too
Maybe you should sweep the carpet in front of your door and see that the Obama muppets and friends have been linked to terrorism or federal investigation

Is that enough for you? I guess so
Obama also exchanged 5 terrorist for a sell out called Bowe Beghdal, do you think it is a proof of being clever and a man of integrity? It is more a proof of being stupid and a coward same as having Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton and Loretta Lynch in his government.
I am not worried about Hillary, she will get what she deserves.

Most have been broken? As in it's settled, it's not going to happen?

Here are some things candidate Trump promised that HAVE happened:

Reduced the trade deficit (with more following)
Tax cuts - including eliminating that marxist estate tax
Appointed a conservitive Supreme Court Justice (with more following)
Moved the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem (despite the doomsaying from fuck libs)
Rolled back business-*********** Obama era regulations
Withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord
****** TPP
Strengthened our military (with more following)
there's more but that's what I can come up with just off the top of my head.

Many of what you would call "broken promises" are still pending. They may very well end up as broken promises, but we're less than 2 years into President Trump's first of two terms. And some of these are ultimately out of his hands when it comes to the federal government's purse strings.

 

[sean miguel]

Tax cuts - including eliminating that marxist estate tax

correction - a compromise was striken and the estate tax exemption was effectively doubled instead of eliminated thanks to the senate. Which is why we need to increase our majority there. And McCain should do the honorable thing and die with dignity instead of holding onto his senate seat with a death grip to spite the President. We get it, McCain, you don't like him. He certainly hasn't been representing his constituents (which is his fucking job) of late.

correction to that correction - a compromise was struck and it's spelled "stricken." that just seemed off.

whatever, you knew what I meant.

It’s really that simple.

The courts saw fit to overturn the errors of their ways.

Now, what crimes in particular has the National Rifle Association or their officers committed?
