NRA: we're going broke and may have to Shut Down NRATV

[dixiegrrrrl]

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s campaign to pressure insurers and financial services companies to cut ties with the NRA could deeply harm its financial health and ability to “fulfill its advocacy objectives.”

In the complaint, entered July 20 and first reported by the New York Law Journal, the NRA claims it has lost income and access to banking services as a result of the state’s actions.
One of the more dramatic impacts of Cuomo’s push: The NRA says it has not been able to renew its media liability insurance.
If the group cannot secure a policy soon, it could be forced to shutter its multimillion-dollar television network,
NRATV, or a number of its print publications, the complaint reads.
The NRA also says that, without insurance, it “cannot maintain its physical premises” or “convene off-site meetings and events.”

2. hehe. media liability insurance...

Did not know you could get one. I guess it covers the expenses you may incur by spreading bullshit in the media.
Apparently, insurers think the risk is high so they probably had to raise the policy premiums.. with the russian money spigot cut off by Mueller and co, maybe the NRA will fade into oblivion. Their membership dues is a small fraction of their income as i remember. Most of it comes from anonymous donors. If they start to bail, they are cooked.

10. I'm a firm 2nd Amendment supporter but....

NRA hasn't got a cent from me in many years and never will again. They need to get back to gun safety and marksmanship and forget the crazy RW nut jobbery.

[Va Lefty]

11. Sure it's just a ruse to raise $.

Remember how every goddamn Democrat that came down the pike in the last 30 years was "coming for their guns?" Must have got lost.

[gratuitous]

19. And if the NRA knows nothing else

It knows how gullible its members are, and how eager they are to throw money at the NRA.

But it would be oh so sad if the NRA actually did hurt for ready cash. Tee hee.

[zipplewrath]

16. Not going broke

They can't get insurance and won't go self insured instead. They have plenty-o-cash. I suspect this is mostly fluff to support the formal complaint they filed.
