The NRA can continue with a lawsuit alleging a New York government official violated the gun lobby’s First Amendment rights when she told financial groups not to do business after the Parkland mass shooting.
In a win for the controversial gun advocacy group, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a ruling the NRA “plausibly alleged” the former head of the New York State Department of Financial Services violated the lobby’s right. Sotomayor issued the ruling Thursday as the high court voted 9-0 to allow the NRA suit to continue.
