March 4, 2022 — A front-page article in today’s New York Law Journal, “Manhattan Judge Rejects NY AG’s Effort to Dissolve National Rifle Association,” reports that a ruling by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Joel Cohen dismissed New York Attorney General Letitia James’ effort to dissolve the organization.
The report notes that Cohen found that dissolving the NRA “could impinge, at least indirectly, on the free speech and assembly rights of millions of members” of the NRA.
The report adds that NRA lead attorney William Brewer applauded the ruling, stating, “This is a victory not only for the NRA, but all who believe in the right to free speech and association.”
The article follows positive reports from many news organizations, including the Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and the Daily Caller, among others. To read more in the NYLJ, click here.
