The Supreme Court heard oral argument in NRA v. Vullo, a case on whether a former New York regulator violated the NRA’s free speech rights by threatening companies that do business with them. In 2017, Maria Vullo, then the superintendent of the Department of Financial Services, investigated the NRA-endorsed Carry Guard affinity insurance program. This program, underwritten and administered by third parties, covered members' financial losses, and, if needed, criminal defense costs from use of a licensed firearm. The investigation concluded the program violated state law. In February 2018 following a deadly Florida school shooting, Ms. Vullo met with companies urging them to end or rethink their ties with the gun group. AIG and other companies, including the ones associated with the Carry Guard program, severed or reduced ties with the NRA. The NRA filed suit arguing Ms. Vullo’s actions violated its First Amendment right to protected speech as a gun rights organization. close
