I saw that David Hogg Tweeted this:
“The NRA admitted in a recent court filing that it’s hurting financially thanks to activism by the teenage survivors of the Parkland school massacre”

My first thought was “how the fuck can that be true?”
His rallies have added a million new members and generated record donations. How is the NRA close to running out to money?
So I read the Rolling Stone article.
The NRA Says It’s in Deep Financial Trouble, May Be ‘Unable to Exist’
Nothing in the article points to a shortage of donations or lack of NRA support by its members. It is a story of political malfeasance and goverment abuse.
Instead, the gun group has been suing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state’s financial regulators since May, claiming the NRA has been subject to a state-led “blacklisting campaign” that has inflicted “tens of millions of dollars in damages.”
In the new document — an amended complaint filed in U.S. District Court in late July — the NRA says it cannot access financial services essential to its operations and is facing “irrecoverable loss and irreparable harm.”
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.”
In addition to its insurance troubles, the NRA court filing also claims that “abuses” by Cuomo and the New York State Department of Financial Services “will imminently deprive the NRA of basic bank-depository services … and other financial services essential to the NRA’s corporate existence.”
So Governor Cuomo is using the state regulatory agencies that he controls to deny the NRA private insurance and banking access.
Andrew Cuomo is acting like a tyrant, using his stooges to cut off financial services from an organization he disagrees with politically.
This what David Hogg is taking a victory lap over. Not just him but politicians like FL-22’s Ted Douche Deutch.

It’s great to know that a sitting US Congressman supports political abuse against people and groups he doesn’t like.
The Democrats: “goverment abuse is terrible, unless we’re the ones doing it, then it’s great.”
I’d love to see the NRA win this case. Nothing could be more delicious than the State of New York having to pay tens of millions of dollars in damages into the NRA’s coffers.
I won’t hold my breath, but a man can dream.
Furthermore, this just proves that these little Parkland shits can’t tell the truth about anything.
Why would the NRA carry insurance? A better answer is to do like parachute manufacturers do: operate without insurance, and publicly announce that fact (like this one: http://www.unitedparachutetechnologies.com)
Once the NRA has been destroyed, there will be an all out legislative assault on RKBA. We are seeing a full blown attempt at a coup by the left. It is going to get MUCH uglier in the months to come.
Assuming the article in Rolling Stone is true (I know, that’s funny), what would anyone expect them to say in a lawsuit? “This really has no effect on us, we just don’t like what Cuomo is doing so we’re suing him?” Lawsuits are written up by lawyers who want to win. The NRA isn’t going to be destroyed. The NRA will be fine. Rolling Stone magazine, on the other hand, should probably be concerned about their future, not the NRA’s. I mean, between being caught lying repeatedly and having devolved into a Communist periodical for the dumbest people in America, they can’t be doing well.
“Clearly the young people are winning.” –David (Goebbels Jr.) Hogg
Um… yeah, no. For all his political grandstanding and overall senseless whining, he has accomplished exactly nothing when it comes to his crazy goals.
Oh, and by the way: Publix profits rise despite political donation backlash (www.orlandosentinel.com/business/consumer/os-bz-publix-second-quarter-earnings-20180801-story.html)
Conclusion? Goebbels Jr. is a zero to the left, figuratively and literally. 😀
In honor of the little asshat, I upgraded my NRA membership to Benefactor level.
Probably going to upgrade to Patron before the year is over.
yep! All you life members should do the same, I went benefactor last year. It feels great! Doesn’t stop me from regularly donating to the NRA-ILA as well as the NRA-PVF.
Well, I’ve done it. Hogg and co. have convinced me to upgrade to Patron level. I’m doing $25 a month easy pay system. Not because I can’t drop $300 for the discounted rate right now, but only because if I do, in like two months I’ll wind up upgrading to Benefactor. 🙂
Wait, do people still believe that Rolling Stone rag? We’re talking the old 5/2 of all wahmen in college are raped and colleges are rape factories waaaah white men are evil Rolling Stone, right?
