The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) has filed a collective lawsuit against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D), New York State's Superintendent of Financial Services Maria T. Vullo and the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS).
The NRA claims Cuomo, Vullo and DFS knowingly went to banks and insurance companies to tell them not to work with the pro-gun group, Rolling Stone first reported.
"Simply put, Defendants made it clear to banks and insurers that it is bad business in New York to do business with the NRA," the lawsuit says. "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."

I think the NRA could make a good case that this is an example of viewpoint discrimination. They have been specifically targeted by a government entity not for any illegal acts they have done but rather because that government - the state of NY - does not like and wishes to suppress their viewpoint.
Just heard that some judge says Trump admin must re-instate DACA. (Even though it was illegal to begin with.) HUH?
Good ideas. We have to stop holding back when the bad guys never do that. They tried to call church groups rackets under RICO, didn’t they a while back? Nice folks-—not.
Yes, the stakes are higher than the public realizes. The ComDem traitors have far too much bureaucrap power. The press is aligned with the enemies of freedom.
This must be stopped
The banks and the gummint are the same.
Any idjit can see that.
Love it!
