Cuomigula needs to go! NRA rhetoric is insane.

[sschrad]

Gov. Cuomo says he’s fine with New York financial regulators putting the squeeze on the National Rifle Association.

“If the NRA goes bankrupt because of the state of New York, they'll be in my thoughts and prayers," Cuomo said in a statement Saturday

The gun-rights group gripes in Albany federal court that New York’s Department of Financial Services is pushing too hard to dissuade banks and insurers from doing business with it.

One of the NRA’s worries is the state’s push against its Carry Guard insurance program, which is meant to protect gun owners from lawsuits when they fire their weapons in self-defense.

The state says Carry Guard policies are illegal. “People go to jail for selling illegal products, so I have very little sympathy for them,” Cuomo said at an event in the Bronx.

New York on Friday moved to dismiss the NRA lawsuit.

Cuomo hopes other states take up his anti-NRA fight. “They are political bullies — they control the president and they control most state legislators and most governors,” he said. “They don’t control me and never will.”


I get a big kick out of him calling someone a political bully! He is the epitomy of a political bully.

It's time for all of the people who disagree with his policies and election time BULLSHIT to stand up and vote. I know a lot of people who say that their vote won't mean shit because of the population advantage in NYC and some of the more liberal counties, therefore, they don't vote. They are wrong. VOTE . If you sit home on your ass and don't cast a ballot we will be stuck with this shit forever.

Moving to another state will only prolong the inevitable as this liberal, progressive ideology spreads to other areas. My god, look at Houston and Austin, how could a liberal base be established in Texas?

We might be fucked, but if we don't vote this time, we are definitely fucked.

Are you surprised and do you blame him. We try to do th same with dicks and companies like that. I think it’s a dick backhanded move, but I don’t think it’s illegal.

We don't have the power of state regulators behind us.

He (and we) are free to do or not do business with whomever we chose.

We don't have the power to literally tell a business they can't do business in the state.

THIS.
I am going to be voting against this cocksucker. I don't care if I have to crawl into the polling place on my stomach over a bed of glass. I'd anyone on here doesn't do the same then don't ever piss and moan about Cuomo again. Maybe he still wins but if people dont vote, you'll never know if your vote(s) wouleve helped.

This motherfucker needs to be ousted like no one's business. Everything he does, says, and touches turns my stomach and if ever I wished a horrible, painful, and tragic car accident on anyone it would be him.

Switch your voter registration to Dem, vote against him twice.

This year will be a good year to try to oust him. He has a strong challenger from within his own party who has vowed to run third-party if she doesn't get the nomination. We have to hope that this will further split the liberal vote and give Molinaro a chance. This is really the only way I can see him getting thrown out of office, if he doesn't get taken out in handcuffs first.

Is Cuomo Threatening NRA's Existence? He Says: 'I'd Like To Believe It's True'
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the National Rifle Association's federal lawsuit against him is "frivolous." The lawsuit claims that Cuomo's policies are trying to deprive the NRA of its First Amendment rights by making it more difficult for the organization to function in the state.

Cuomo described the NRA as a "group of extremists" and says he hopes that his actions against the group will expand to other states.

"I'm hoping to extend this all across the country," he said in an interview with All Things Considered. "And if they think New York hurt their pocketbook, let's see what happens when the other states also join in."

Part of the lawsuit focuses on an NRA-branded insurance program called Carry Guard, which the state's Department of Financial Services took action against earlier this year. For example, in May, the DFS imposed a $7 million fine on the program's underwriter Lockton Cos. because the insurance covered "certain acts of intentional wrongdoing" which the state found to be unlawful.

Critics of this kind of insurance policy have called it "murder insurance."
"I do plead guilty to stopping the NRA from conducting illegal activity in the state of New York. That I will plead guilty to, proudly," Cuomo said.

"They're complaining that they lost the commission from selling an illegal product," he added. "It's like a 21-year-old who is selling drugs complaining about the loss of revenue, when the drug sales are stopped."

Cuomo has previously tangled with the NRA, including enacting stricter gun laws in New York that he describes as "one of the proudest things that I did."

I am embarrassed to live in this fucking state, pay taxes and live here.

Mr Cuomo does all kinds of illegal things but it's ok for him to do it.

 

[Sneezy]

I sent him a fairly angry letter and I told him I was no longer going to follow the illegal laws on NY.

I didn't say gun laws, just laws.

No black SUV's at my house yet....

 

[Mosinitis]

There is nothing that FUAC can do in NY state that will have any measurable effect on NRA finances. Both sides are exaggerating the effects of this when speaking to their target audience. Much ado about nothing.

 

[Phauxtoe]

This is actually a good Line...

"If the NRA goes bankrupt because of the state of New York, they'll be in my thoughts and prayers,"

still, FUAC

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo on claim he may put NRA out of business: “I would like to believe it’s true”
Among New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s leading political enemies is the National Rifle Association.

Long before the Parkland Shooting and the national movement to pressure companies to sever ties to the NRA, the NRA was battling Cuomo’s absurd gun control legislation, the so-called SAFE Act. That legislation had to be partially rewritten because, among other things, it would have exposed police to criminal liability and effectively banned most pistols because of the limitation of magazines to 7 bullets.
The SAFE Act is hated throughout upstate NY, the vast flyover country north and west of New York City. The SAFE Act has been rejected by the county legislatures in almost every upstate county.
Cuomo took the fight to another level, however, by utilizing the state financial regulators against the NRA, leading the NRA to bring suit in May 2018.

We covered the story at the time, NRA sues NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo for using financial regulator to “blacklist” NRA:

The NRA has been under assault from liberal politicians and political groups for decades. But those attacks have intensified after the Parkland school shooting.

Student David Hogg, backed by powerful groups like Media Matters, launched a campaign to pressure companies to sever membership discount programs with the NRA. That campaign was largely successful, but it did not stop there.

There were efforts to deplatform NRA-TV, that is, to pressure streaming service providers not to carry NRA-TV.

But it did not stop there. Liberal politicians are getting into the act….

According to a lawsuit just filed by the NRA in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York (based in Syracuse), after the Parkland shooting Cuomo enlisted his Department of Financial Services, which is part of the Executive Branch under Cuomo’s control (unlike the Attorney General, which is a separately elected constitutional provision), to “blacklist” the NRA.

A copy of the original complaint is here (pdf.), and alleged among other things:
