National Rifle Association
I predict a huge fundraising bonanza for the National Rifle Association. Because, yes, that’s exactly how this works.
As for the lawsuit[1] itself? We’ll see. There’s a gaming aspect to court proceedings that reduces to a contest to see who can get what rules applied that leads me not to trust that even well-founded cases (which it sounds like this is[2]) will prevail. And we haven’t seen the NRA’s defense yet.
