From the article: As Breitbart News reported in May 2018, the state declared that the NRA’s “Carry Guard” insurance program was illegal. The program provided insurance coverage for firearms owners in case they were ever charged or sued for firing their weapons.

In May 2019, a federal district court dismissed some of the NRA’s claims, saying that the NRA had to show that the state knew specifically about similar insurance law violations by other providers and failed to enforce the law. But it dismissed the claims without prejudice, providing leave for the NRA to re-file those claims if evidence emerged.

On Dec. 20, 2019, the NRA asked the court for leave to file an amended complaint, explaining that it had found exactly such evidence, thanks to the state allegedly admitting its discriminatory intent behind the scenes

Clear definition of :ninja:driveby thread perhaps?
No, there's an explanation, and the image clip provides an exerpt--so, technically, it complies.

Ok, the sourcing is suspect for having some known biases--but, this is not a story the compliant media is likely to cover, too.
Which, sadly, is de rigueur for news in "our" favor.

And also the risk, because it is far too easy to be drawn into the fringe reporting--the dread echo chamber effect, where one only hears information one is predisposed to agree with. Which is hugely complicated, as sometimes those sources can be accurate, if buried in the weeds and muck. The "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" as it were, still true after 500 years.

I would be more comfortable if this story were backed up with some international reporting, like Reuters or the like. Even soe "opposition" pieces fro Atlantic, the Daily Mail, or the like would help support OP's posting.

Mind, I have this nagging annoyance with anything that might possibly make WLP "look good," and I am sore trying to not reflexively react in accordance with that. Not an easy task..
