GE Capital Cuts Off Lending to Gun Shops

[wctriumph]

Really, you can finance a gun? I never even dreamed you could do this. Get a 6 month same as cash deal and pay off that NFA item by the time the batfe approval comes through. That's great!

GE makes the freakin mini-gun for god's sake! Talk about hypocracy!

It is funny how people ASSUME I respect the management of GE.

I used GE for my customer financing. 12 mo no interest bla bla bla. Just canceled my relationship with them today. If enough people dump them for their financing, they will certainly feel the impact. Lets just say that their rates and charges are not cheap. Nobody's are. For example, to use the GE financing system you have to pay around $50 a month to have the program. The rate a retailer gets charged to run a 12 mo financing deal for a customer is around 7%. That adds up. Big time.

I'm gonna say.... fuck 'em.


Just, fuck off.

GE is the nations 12th largest defense contractor, $4.3BILLION dollars per year in arms sales. War is a large part of GE's business.

Immelt is a leftist ass. My wife worked for GE for about 9 years and met Immelt a couple of times. She was less than impressed.

The lesson of the 20th century is that government should NOT have guns.

Well, the talking shills on the Channel 4 morning news trumpted this as an example that Buisness is with them in the fight against guns.

[Dingo]

Please.
These defense contractors make more money than they can spend in a manufactured/engineered war-time crisis. Not selling to the citizenry doesn't hurt them at all - this is just free PR to enhance their already stellar standing with mother gov't.
