Banks are only "sort of" private businesses. They need a license, either from a state or from the federal government, in order to operate. The State of New York was essentially threatening banks with revocation or non-renewal of their licenses if they didn't cut off the NRA. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me that goes a bit beyond tortious interference. That looks a lot more like blackmail, conspiracy, and deprivation of rights under color of law.
