Not sure if this is the correct section for this, if not, mods please move.
Fox News is reporting that California, New Jersey, and Washington state have joined NY in attacking the NRA by going after the Carry Guard insurance they recently stated selling. NY was honest about their motivation (although Cuomo lies about the purpose of the insurance, saying it insures intentional illegal actions) but WA and CA claim their only motivation is that the policy issuers are not properly registered to sell insurance in their respective states. (The article did not discuss NJ's motivation.)
I find it hard to believe the NRA wouldn't have dotted every i and crossed every t needed to legally sell the insurance in every jurisdiction but I guess if they didn't they can correct that, after which we would see whether WA and CA would try other tactics.
NRA is suing NY saying they are practicing "viewpoint discrimination" which is prohibited under the First Amendment. The Cuomo administration has filed a motion to dismiss.
Any opinions here as to whether NY could possibly have any valid defense in the lawsuit? Especially after Cuomo has publicly stated he wants to bankrupt the NRA? If the NY court dismisses, can the NRA appeal to SCOTUS? Anybody know any details of what facets of WA and CA law the NRA is accused of failing to comply with?
