On Wednesday, May 30, the United States Supreme Court announced its opinion in NRA v. Vullo. The NRA won by unanimous decision, and the opinion was authored by Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Maria Vullo is a former Superintendent at New York’s Department of Financial Services, a potent regulatory body in the state. To further Democrats’ gun-control agenda, and after the infamous Parkland High School massacre in 2018, Vullo issued statements and “guidance” letters calling for banks and insurance companies doing business in the state to reconsider working with the NRA and other organizations that promote guns. She urged the banks and insurance companies to “join” others that had cut ties with the NRA.
The NRA sued Vullo and the state for violating its free speech rights. The court’s opinion says:
“Nothing in this case immunizes the NRA from regulation nor prevents government officials from condemning disfavored views. The takeaway is that the First Amendment prohibits government officials from wielding their power selectively to punish or suppress speech, directly or (as alleged here) through private intermediaries.”Justices Neil Gorsuch, and Ketanji Jackson each wrote separate concurring opinions.
