The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from the National Rifle Association (NRA) over comments made by a former New York state official. The NRA claims that Maria Vullo, the former superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services, violated their First Amendment rights with her remarks in response to the 2018 Parkland shooting. Supporters of stricter gun laws have praised Vullo’s actions, while gun rights advocates have argued that her comments were an infringement of the NRA’s First Amendment rights. The Supreme Court’s decision will ultimately decide the fate of the case.
