NRA In "Deep Financial Trouble", May Soon Go Out of Business

[Agent Zero]

Don't fall for their excuse. Perhaps the overseas donations from Russia are finally drying up?

The National Rifle Association says that it’s in “deep financial trouble” — so deep in fact that it may be “unable to exist.”
The group says it is under such financial distress because New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has convinced a number of financial service providers, banks, and insurance providers against doing business with the gun-advocacy group. As a result, the NRA claims that it will be forced to end its magazine publishing and television services, and will be forced to curtail rallies and potentially shutter some of its offices.
In April, Gov. Cuomo encouraged New York-based businesses to cut ties with the NRA. “New York may have the strongest gun laws in the country, but we must push further to ensure that gun safety is a top priority for every individual, company, and organization that does business across the state,” he said in a statement. “I am directing the Department of Financial Services to urge insurers and bankers statewide to determine whether any relationship they may have with the NRA or similar organizations sends the wrong message to their clients and their communities who often look to them for guidance and support. This is not just a matter of reputation, it is a matter of public safety, and working together, we can put an end to gun violence in New York once and for all.”

Maybe if they would quit doing stupid stuff like this they'd survive. Pelosi and Gabby Giffords? Really?

This is the true fascist coming out from the left. Pressuring banks to not do business with legitimate businesses.

You do know the NRA funnelled illegal campaign donations from Russians to the Trump campaign, right?

My vote for pro gun rights politicians supporting pro gun rights legislation is not dependent on the NRAs existence or not. My owning a firearm is guaranteed by a document that Cuomo and other Progs cannot touch.

The NRA brass should publish a list of financial services institutions that are bailing out. Then we NRA members can boycott them.

You believe every rumor you hear? Probably.

The promotion of gun ownership does not benefit large cities. That's simply a fact of life. The gun industry adversely affects big cities and increases their already enormous costs of policing. They will act in their own interests because the Constitution is not going to supplement their security costs, nor are pro-gun states going to fork over special aide in that respect. You don't have to like it, but states will act in their own best interests. That's the basis of the Union.

Perhaps the NRA could save money by slashing the salaries of the executives such as Wayne LaPierre who reportedly is paid over a million dollars per year. This does not include a Special Employee Retirement Plan Payment of nearly $4 million dollars. They don't have to go out of business, just cut costs to meet their income.
