After N.R.A.’s Supreme Court Win, a Dispute Over Key Facts
Published On Dec 9, 2024, 12:37 PM
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the National Rifle Association (N.R.A.) regarding claims that a New York State regulator infringed on its First Amendment rights after the 2018 Parkland shooting. The Court's unanimous decision allows the N.R.A. to pursue a lawsuit against the regulator for alleged coercive tactics against insurers and banks. The ruling is seen as a significant victory for the N.R.A., which is reportedly looking to collect $100 million in damages. However, the validity of a key secret meeting referenced in the lawsuit is now contested, as the two individuals mentioned claimed it did not occur, which might complicate the N.R.A.'s case in lower courts.
