New York moves to dismiss NRA lawsuit

New York officials call a lawsuit from the National Rifle Association a distraction in their motion to dismiss.

On Friday, state Attorney General Barbara Underwood moved to dismiss a lawsuit against Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and the state Department of Financial Services from the NRA that accuses state regulators of harming its financial stability and violating its First Amendment rights.

Read the entire dismissal motion below.

In an amended version of a federal lawsuit filed in May, the NRA says it has lost insurance coverage because of the state’s enforcement actions against companies underwriting an NRA-branded insurance program called Carry Guard.

Without liability coverage, NRA says it can’t maintain its offices, operate educational programs or hold rallies and other events.

“To distract from its involvement in various violations of the law, the NRA brings this action
attempting to characterize Defendants’ lawful acts—including providing guidance to insurers and
financial institutions to evaluate and manage risks that might arise from their dealings with gun
promotion organizations—as unconstitutional simply because they indirectly affect the NRA,” reads the motion from Underwood.

On Monday, Cuomo urged other governors to block the sale of the NRA’s “Carry Guard” program.
