LA repeals requirements for contractors to reveal NRA ties

Quote
The Los Angeles City Council is repealing a law requiring companies that want city contracts to disclose whether they have ties to the National Rifle Association, weeks after a federal judge blocked the city from enforcing the ordinance.

Council members voted 12-0 without discussion Tuesday to roll back the law, which was passed last year. It required firms seeking deals with the city to disclose contracts or sponsorships between them or their subsidiaries and the NRA.
...
In a lawsuit seeking to block the ordinance, the NRA said the requirements violated the constitutional First Amendment right to free speech and association and the 14th Amendment right to equal protection.

In December, U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson issued a preliminary injunction preventing the law from being enforced.

LA was the second major US city to try this sort of constitutional violation. SF tried as well, https://lidblog.com/san-francisco-nra/ , and backed down under the threat of legal action. This tactic could have had wide-ranging effects, well beyond the NRA or the Second Amendment. Does anyone doubt there would be desire in SF and similarly liberal cities to use this sort of ordinance against Samaritan's Purse or the Salvation Army?
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

No, I don't doubt that, but I wonder who is going to supply their LEOs with guns and ammo and tactical gear who has no affiliation with the NRA (at least membership).

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
