LA City Council to Require Contractors Disclose Ties To NRA

In a move the smacks of the era of McCarthyism, Los Angeles passed a new law on Tuesday that requires companies seeking contracts with the city to disclose any ties they may have to the National Rifle Association.

Democrat council member Mitch O’Farrell, who crafted the bill, claimed the NRA has “been a road block to gun safety reform at every level of government now for several decades.” 

The NRA had already sent a letter to the City Council threatening to sue if the ordinance was approved arguing that the law is “an unconstitutional effort to restrict and chill an individual’s right to associate and express their political beliefs.”

Los Angeles has pushed through several similar weapons-related legislation in recent years.
