- The National Rifle Association sued Los Angeles on Wednesday over a new law requiring that contractors disclose their ties to the gun rights group as a condition of obtaining business from the second most-populous U.S. city.
At issue was an ordinance that took effect on April 1, requiring companies that want city contracts to disclose NRA contracts or sponsorships. That body said providing public funds to NRA-linked contractors undermines efforts to promote gun safety in Los Angeles, which has about 4 million people. It cited shootings including the November 2018 killing of 12 people at a bar in Thousand Oaks, California, the October 2018 deaths of 11 worshippers at a Pittsburgh synagogue, and the October 2017 killing of 58 people at a Las Vegas music concert.
Los Angeles won't be bullied by NRA - Get lost, NRA !!
This feels over reaching and targeted. Punish a contractor for other affiliations?
Don't these people have more important things to do?
I hate the strict gun laws in LA, but I do support them in being transparent with contracts and their affiliations
Oh that nefarious NRA. Probably hiding behind the Constitution again ...
