NRA Sues LA Over Free-Speech Violation

The National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles this week for a recent ordinance the city council unanimously passed. The ordinance, introduced by councilman Mitch O'Farrell, requires any city contractor to fully disclose any sponsorship of or contact with the NRA. O'Farrell, along with fellow anti-gun zealot Councilman Paul Krekorian, claimed that the law was needed to combat the NRA, which Krekorian described as "one of the most significant roadblocks to sensible gun safety reform at every level of government across the nation."

NRA attorney Chuck Michel argued that "politicians are free to disagree with the NRA's pro-freedom, firearm safety, and self-reliance message, but they aren't free to censor it — as this would do when NRA supporters drop their NRA affiliations for fear of losing work from the city because they get put on a blacklist." The lawsuit charges that the city's anti-NRA ordinance is an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment's protection of free speech and association as well as the 14th Amendment's right to equal protection under the law.

"Sensible Gun Safety Reform". If that isn't Orwellian, I don't know what is. The NRA teaches ACTUAL gun safety. The crap they speak of is nothing but a further infringement on our Second Amendment rights.
