The hard-Left in America, which is devouring the Democratic Party and filling it with hateful Marxists who seek to bully their way to power, has long targeted the National Rifle Association.
But not because the 147-year-old organization has done anything wrong – at least not in the eyes of most rational people. The NRA was founded by Union Army officers who were disappointed with the lack of marksmanship displayed by their troops during the Civil War; since then the organization has continued its marksmanship mission but also has come to serve as the country’s premier gun rights group.
And Left-wing Democrats despise the Second Amendment. So they have made it a mission to destroy the NRA in any way possible.
After all these years, they may have found a way: Starve the NRA to death economically.
As reported by Townhall, the NRA has filed a lawsuit against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), New York State’s Superintendent of Financial Services Maria T. Vullo and the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS), claiming that the governor, Vullo and officials at DFS pressured banks and insurance companies not to do business with the organization.
“Simply put, Defendants made it clear to banks and insurers that it is bad business in New York to do business with the NRA,” says the lawsuit, which was first reported by Rolling Stone magazine.
“As a direct result of this coercion, multiple financial institutions have succumbed to Defendants’ demands and entered into consent orders with DFS that compel them to terminate longstanding, beneficial business relationships with the NRA, both in New York and elsewhere,” the filing says.
Townhall reported that DFS launched a probe into an NRA insurance product, Carry Guard, even though several other companies offer something very similar. The NRA said that it fashioned Carry Guard after other similar insurance plans specifically to avoid being singled out.
But, according to The Wall Street Journal, anti-NRA regulators in New York banned the insurance program in May anyway because it allegedly ‘violated’ state law, while imposing a $7 million fine on the insurance broker who set it up.
Not the first time this has been tried
WSJ reported:
The NRA program allows policyholders to buy policies that cover legal costs in self-defense shootings. The “NRA Carry Guard” program is still being marketed, according to the program’s website, although sales in New York were suspended last fall shortly after the state’s Department of Financial Services launched its probe.
