ALBANY, N.Y. — New York's Democratic governor is hoping an effort to end a National Rifle Association insurance policy will damage the group's finances — and he is urging other states to follow.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo in recent days has ramped up his criticism of the NRA after it filed legal papers to try to overturn his state's decision earlier this year to end the NRA's insurance program called Carry Guard.
New York officials contend the program is illegal because it gives liability protection to gun owners for acts where "intentional wrongdoing" occurred. The NRA suspended sales in New York shortly after the state's Department of Financial Services launched a probe into its legality. Source: USA Today
