I'm gonna guess you're armed with enough information to answer your own question here.

I think I recall once reading him post something to the effect that the world WAS in fact round and not flat... I could be mistaking him for someone with a functioning brain not fueled by an overactive fear center riddled with ideological inconsistencies and outright contradictions, though...

Ah yes, 538, a well known unbiased source of information. I'll choose pro choice rather than be forced to buy coverage I neither need nor want among as many as ONE insurance provider now that the others have left the business.

Regardless of what you think of the NRA, Operation Choke Point Cuomo style is not how you go about doing it because it will become a first amendment issue.

This is no different than Republicans trying to shut down planned parenthood using similar indirect government coercion just because their religious right constituents believe they are murdering thousands of babies.

Trump bashes companies, organizations and people all the time. Do you have any proof New York State is actually actively undermining the NRA?

For they are in dire fiscal straights and can't get insurance.

Oh the delicious irony.

Specifically, the NRA warns that it has lost insurance coverage — endangering day-to-day operations. “Insurance coverage is necessary for the NRA to continue its existence,” the complaint reads. Without general liability coverage, it adds, the “NRA cannot maintain its physical premises, convene off-site meetings and events, operate educational programs … or hold rallies, conventions and assemblies.”

Guess that means they have to get Dana Loesch's cute little ass on the corner to make them some money!

I'm not sure I agree with Cuomo's methods but fuck the NRA anyway. They've increasingly peddled fear as a reason to own guns for decades, even as crime has fallen to its lowest level since the 70's.

I'm genuinely curious to see how many suckers pony up to "save" the NRA. Will it be more than the number of suckers who ponied up to keep Oral Roberts from being called home?

Well in that case they just heard "Oral" + "College of Roberts" and thought... Well that's a cause worth paying for.

Please tell us more about your 538 conspiracy theory. How specifically are they biased?

“The NRA’s inability to obtain insurance in connection with media liability"

Yeah, no shit, who would want to be liable for that....
