The NRA recently dropped a lawsuit against San Francisco after officials said a resolution calling for a review of NRA business relationships was non-binding.
"This is an important win for the NRA, our members, and all who believe in America's constitutional freedoms," Andrew Arulanandam, the NRA's managing director of public affairs, said in a written statement."In a strong rebuke of the city's actions, the ordinance is banned from taking effect... The ruling sends a powerful message to those government officials who would take any actions that are adverse to the NRA because they dislike its political speech.
The ordinance itself did not expressly forbid business relationships, but the judge inferred a suppressive intent from the legislative process. To burden businesses' First Amendment rights, lawmakers would need to demonstrate a compelling interest in doing so. But the judge found that while the city professed concern for gun violence as an underlying reason, it"provided nothing to demonstrate the causal connection between pro-firearm speech and mass shootings."
