Judge blocks Los Angeles from enforcing NRA disclosure law

In a victory for the gun rights group, U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson in Los Angeles on Wednesday issued a preliminary injunction against the law, which took effect on April 1. Wilson said the NRA was likely to show that the law, which requires companies seeking city contracts to disclose NRA contracts or sponsorship, violated its constitutional First Amendment right to free speech and would cause irreparable harm. The judge found only a slight relationship between the law and Los Angeles' interests in public safety and transparent government, and said an injunction would better serve the public interest.
