The NRA Is About to Notch Another Legal Victory at the Supreme Court

[Dadstoys]

The case was about a state regulatory agency extorting licensed insurance companies into dropping the NRA as a client because of the NRA's advocacy for the Second Amendment. The state caused harm to the NRA's financial interest (insurance) because the NRA expressed it's opinions about gun control. Those opinions and comments are protected speech under the first Amendment.

The state didn't directly threaten the NRA, but it did tell the insurance companies that the state would look the other way in other cases if the companies would just work with the state to cripple the NRA's insurance policy.

Weren't banks also being pressured as well?

They might have been, but they were not party to this suit. The NRA, not the insurance companies was the plaintiff.
