GE Capital Cuts Off Lending to Gun Shops

http://news.yahoo.com/financial-gun-control-ge-capital-quietly-cuts-off-203631904--finance.html

This maneuver by GE Capital is very prejudiced (anti-gun).

"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

Perhaps a boycott is in order.  In my opinion, the quality of their products has been going downhill anyway.

I've used quite a few GE appliances over the years.  Never will again!  Not even a light bulb... :tdown:

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

Same Corporation, different division.

Apparently they have different CEO's for the different business entities. It's all under the GE umbrella though which has corporate CEO Jeff Immelt.

They may be thinking of spinng off their GE Capital profit center, but it is part of them now.
