NRA "enemies" list- Geico wants off

[Quartus]

Looks like these folks don't think any more of the First Amendment than the Second:
Guns only for the police, military, and bodyguards,
Free speech only for those with approved viewpoints.

Yup. That's the way they see it.

Did you get a load of the celebs who support gun control? Many are actors in acting roles sporting firearms. Sean Connery. Kevin Cosner. Good grief!

Don't forget all those supposedly pro-2A folks who loudly proclaim their undying loyalty to the cause of freedom and then go out and give money to these socialist bags of wind every time a new movie comes out. "Oooh, did you see "Mattrixinator VIIII"? It has the COOOOLEST special effects and some really cool guns! WOW! "


And you just funded the enemy.

including the fairly indisputable suggestion that "a gun in the home is more likely to shoot a family member than an intruder." It advised,

I've had guns in my home for over forty yrs now,aint none of them jumped up an shot an intruder or nobody else! Do I need a new fangled gun or sumthin?

aint none of them jumped up an shot an intruder

Actually, a gun that automatically shot an ill-intentioned intruder would be kinda handy on those cold winter nights. That floor gets kinda cold, and the house can be drafty after being under a 'lectric blanket.

unethical insurance company

It's hard to find any other type.

I think this more-likely-to-injure-a-family-member statistic fails to weed out incidents where a family member was shot in self-defense by another familiy member.

GEICO is an unethical insurance company (or is that redundant?) with very sleazy business practices. See how long your '15% savings' last if you get any points, regardless of he circumstances. and God help you if you're hit by one of their policy holders .......

Uhhhhh..... not.

My daughter got hit by an older gentleman who had GEICO insurance. The total repair bill was well over $2000. GEICO paid for the whole thing as well as a rental car while her's was in the shop. The whole claim process took one phone call from the GEICO policy holder. Her car was in the shop the next day after the accident.

Based on that I switched all my auto and home insurance to GEICO, saved $400/year on home insurance and $300/yr on auto (3 of them) insurance. I have been a very satisfied customer for over 5 years. Hell - a window cracked on my wife's T'bird when it got really cold one night. One phone call - GEICO said where to take the car and it was fixed that same day.

GEICO's a good company as far as I'm concerned but then of course YMMV.

So, are you saying that you've got good news?

 

[tyme]

deanf, if it's [based on] the same bogus factoid I think it is, "family member" was originally "acquaintance" and therefore included stuff like drug dealers shooting customers, violent felons shooting their significant others even after they've separated, etc.

I don't know if insurance companies that do health insurance or any government-mandated insurance scheme (cars, etc.) are unethical. Is it unethical to gain financial advantage from someone's desire to live or from insurance requirements imposed by government fiat? The ethics of the latter seems more questionable, but I'm not sure of either.
