NRA sues Los Angeles over city’s contractor disclosure law

The National Rifle Association is suing Los Angeles over a new law requiring companies that want city contracts to disclose whether they have ties to the gun rights group. By Rachel Siegel Rachel Siegel National business reporter Email Bio Follow April 25 at 2:09 PM The National Rifle Association is suing the city of Los Angeles over a new ordinance the gun rights group says violates free speech rights and equal protection rights.

The Los Angeles City Council approved the ordinance, 14-0, in February. The city has similar policies about companies involved in the construction of President Trump’s proposed border wall, or that invested in or profited from slavery, the Los Angeles Times reported. The NRA, which has nearly 5 million members, is one of the most vocal and visible gun rights groups in the country.Pressure on businesses to cut ties with the NRA surged last year after 17 people were killed in a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. Consumers and companies alike rallied around the hashtag #BoycottNRA.

“I support this policy, I’m confident in it, and we’re not going to be bullied by the NRA,” said Mayor Eric Garcetti, who was also named as a defendant.The NRA sued New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and the state’s Department of Financial Services in May for what it called a “blacklisting campaign” meant to persuade banks and insurers to stop doing businesses with the gun rights group.

Imagine if Mississippi required every contractor to disclose any ties to Planned Parenthood. If progressives in LA can pass this sort of law, conservatives can too.

I work in the Financial Services industry. My employer legally forbids me from making political contributions of any kind. Too bad NRA. Snowflakes.
