"The ACLU Stands with the NRA in Landmark Supreme Court Free Speech Case"

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) will provide legal representation for the National Rifle Association (NRA) in its First Amendment case against New York's Department of Financial Services, despite opposing the NRA's mission and viewpoints on gun rights. The case centers on comments made by the former superintendent of the department, Maria Vullo, urging companies to discontinue their association with gun-promoting groups. The ACLU argues that if the Supreme Court doesn't intervene, it could set a dangerous precedent for regulatory agencies to blacklist or punish viewpoint-based organizations. The decision has been criticized by the New York Civil Liberties Union.
