GE Takes Big Stand Against Gun Industry

[CrusaderFrank]

Obama's Bank won't fund gun purchases

OMFG!

 

[LittleNipper]

Is that the same GE that sends jobs overseas and using a loophole pays no taxes??

The very same GE that hated, bought out and destroyed RCA...

 

[editec]

Yup.

Expect that the war on gun ownership is going to a financial approach.

No loans for guns, insurance for guns, taxes on guns, expensive background checks (every year) all these will be used to limit people's 2nd amendment rights.

You'll still have the right, of course, you just won't be able to afford it.

Yes the entirely manipulated, so-called FREE MARKET is a bludgeon that the MASTERS use whenever they would rather not leave their fingerprints at the scene of the crime, I quite agree idb.

No, if the GOP and DNC ever decide to end the gun debate?

They (via Congress) will probably do it by the means I proposed in previous posts.

Personally I doubt either party ever wants THIS GUN DEBATE to end.

Hence all the brouhaha about additional background checks which YOU and I probably both know won't do a god damned thing about SPREE KILLINGS.

Understand, neither party wants to WIN, they simply want the issue to live on to insure that the American people have still one more issue dividing them.

This GE?? RealClearPolitics - The Real GE Scandal

 

[Oddball]

The same military-industrial complex giant GE, that makes jet engines for the military?

 

[Freewill]

THIS GE?

General Electric Avoids Taxes By Keeping $108 Billion Overseas

Let's see, they need to protect their tax exemptions.

Obama has control over those exemptions.

Obama wants a stand against gun ownership.

108 billion or a small segment of the company....hmmmm..........which way do you think they will go?

 

[jon_berzerk]

yes the same ones that avoids paying taxes

and sits in the famed catbird seat in the white house

 

[Oddball]

Wait a minute...

Where are all the usual leftbat suspects, who regularly snivel and mewl about excessive corporate influence in politics?

Anyone?

Beuler?

 

[TakeAStepBack]

It's their decision. Just as it is the consumers decision whether or not to make any financial exchanges with them from their decision. On the other hand, if GE came out saying they would not help fund people's anti-depressants or other pharmies, the moon bats would be crying serious fucking foul here.

Obama's good buddy, GE CEO Jeff Immelt has cut off lending to some gun shops.

I guess this is part of the executive branch gun control program.

General Electric Co. is quietly cutting off lending to gun shops, as the company rethinks its relationship to firearms amid the fallout from the school shooting in Newtown, Conn.

This month, Glenn Duncan, owner of Duncan’s Outdoor Store in Bay City, Mich., said he received a letter from GE Capital Retail Bank in which the lender said it had made “the difficult decision” to stop providing financing services to his store. Other gun dealers have received similar notices. ...

[Mr. Peepers]

LOL Lakhota. This is funny. How's those mercury filled alternative lightbulbs working for you?

BAHAHAHA!

Great, actually. I've got one that is going on 5 years now without having to be changed.

 

[The Breeze]

At the rate the gun shops are raking in the dough thanks to obama and the democrats I'm surprised that they're not the ones doing the lending to GE.
