Boycotting Various State Agencies

For John, BLUF:  I wonder if the "wedding cake" theory means that this is illegal?  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Hornady Won’t Sell to NY State Agencies After Comptroller Threatens Banks Over Gun Business

From the Blog The Truth About Guns, by Dan Zimmerman, 27 April 2018.

Here is the lede:

We recently noted the thinly-veiled threat that New York State comptroller Thomas J. DiNapoli made when he sent a friendly letter to most of the nation’s largest financial institutions.  In it, he hinted — wink, wink — that it could be bad for their business if they continue to facilitate transactions that involve firearms and related products.

So, Mr Steve Hornady, president of Hornady Manufacturing Company (Ammo), is not going to associate himself, or his company, with such abuse of power.  Sort of reminds one of various boycotts of products from nations that are deemed to be "in error".  In this case, a refusal to sell.

Hat tip to the Instapundit.
