In 2019, Los Angeles passed an ordinance requiring anyone doing business with the city to disclose any financial ties to the National Rifle Association. The city did not bar contractors from having affiliations with the NRA provided that the ties were disclosed.
The NRA challenged the move, joining other additional plaintiffs in a lawsuit claiming the measure violated First and 14th Amendment rights. A district judge granted the plaintiffs a preliminary injunction, preventing the ordinance from being enforced, and awarded some legal costs to the plaintiffs. The Los Angeles council repealed the measure in early 2020.
