A federal court blocked L.A. from enforcing a law that says businesses with contracts with the city must say whether they have ties to the NRA.
City Councilman Mitch O’Farrell championed the law, citing the mass shootings seen across the country and told reporters earlier this year that the NRA has “been a road block to gun safety reform at every level of government now for several decades.”The NRA argued the law violates the 1st Amendment right to free speech and association and the 14th Amendment right to equal protection under the law.
“As predicted, the court confirmed that the 1st Amendment prohibits politicians from censoring the NRA‘s message of freedom, safety and self-reliance, and the city cannot discriminate against those who support the NRA’s efforts,” NRA attorney Chuck Michel said Thursday.
