The Supreme Court has sided with the National Rifle Association (NRA) in a legal battle against former New York official Maria Vullo, in a conflict intertwined with the aftermath of the tragic 2018 Parkland school shooting.

The NRA contends that Vullo’s efforts to sever ties with the gun rights group following the Parkland tragedy violated its free speech rights under the First Amendment. Conversely, Vullo argues that her actions were necessary, regulatory measures addressing concerns over insurance products offered by the NRA in New York.

The ruling underscores the intricate interplay between constitutional rights, government coercion and regulatory enforcement in the aftermath of significant events, and intersects constitutional freedoms and regulatory practices.
