Ford Wants Its Cars Back From the NRA

Ford wants a federal bankruptcy court to seize cars it is leasing to the NRA due to concerns that the beleaguered gun group will not make payments. 

After the gun group missed its January payments, the car company's credit arm asked the federal court handling the NRA's bankruptcy to force the group to cancel its leases. Ford said the missed payments indicate the NRA may not be able to keep up with the leases.  

"Ford does not have and [the NRA] is not able to offer adequate protection of Ford's interest in the vehicle[s]," the company said in its filing on Wednesday. 

Pat Neligan, the NRA's bankruptcy counsel, said the filing is "typical" for car companies and the group had been current on the payments before it filed for bankruptcy which allows some protections for missed payments in the short term. "The NRA will continue to comply with the Bankruptcy Code in its ongoing operations," he told the Washington Free Beacon.
