The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the National Rifle Association plausibly alleged that the administration of the state of New York violated the First Amendment by pressuring insurance companies to cut ties with the gun rights organization.
The case, NRA v. Vullo, emerged out of the aftermath of the Parkland shooting on Feb. 14, 2018.
"A government official can share her views freely and criticize particular beliefs, and she can do so forcefully in the hopes of persuading others to follow her lead," Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in the majority opinion.
