March 5, 2024 – The New York Sun published an editorial today in support of Brewer client the NRA. The editorial, “Good News for the NRA – and New York,” commented on the “dissolution lawsuit” filed by the New York Attorney General against the NRA. A jury trial recently concluded in the matter.
The Sun wrote, “We wouldn’t want the week to go by without a word of congratulations to the National Rifle Association, one of America’s most venerable and distinguished civil rights organizations. The worst of the legal onslaught launched by Governor Andrew Cuomo and Attorney General Letitia James has passed. Despite their best efforts to close the doors of the NRA, a Manhattan jury’s verdict leaves the organization intact.”
The publication continued, “Someday, no doubt, the historians are going to mark what happened in this case as a politically motivated prosecution designed to dismantle a non-profit organization whose views cut against the liberal orthodoxy prevailing in the Empire State. Why else would General James emphasize the NRA’s role as “the largest and most influential pro-gun organization in the nation” when she filed her suit “seeking to dissolve” the group?”
