The Los Angeles City Council voted 14-0 Tuesday to approve an ordinance requiring city contractors disclose any ties to the National Rifle Association.
It’s the first such legislation for any municipality, according to Councilman Mitch O’Farrell’s office.
He first introduced the ordinance in September 2018. It will force companies aiming to do business with the city to publicly reveal any financial links to NRA and its subsidiaries.
The law has several exemptions, including pension fund contracts.
In a news conference ahead of Tuesday’s vote, O’Farrell said the NRA previously sent a letter to the City Council claiming that the law would violate the First Amendment.

Making room for illegal invader “contractors” when the American ones leave?
Hpw about asking contractors about their immigration status?
Seems fascistic.
I’m sure they’ll pass similar laws to require city contractors to disclose ties to planned parenthood, the communist party, to BLM, to anti-Israel activities, to pro-illegal immigrant entities, and to sanctuary city organizations. Yep, real soon now.
For LA?! I’d call it moderate if they get to live.
“Are you or have you ever been...” language getting sickeningly too close to a free nation.
The sooner California becomes insolvent and technically bankrupt, the better.
A major financial crisis for them is really the only way they might change.
Hard to see how this passes legal muster. I guess in CA its whatever “feels right”. The NRA should sue.
Does the NRA make their membership list public?
Hpw about asking contractors about their immigration status?
More ComDem Insanity!
They already banned travel to arizona and NC. Doing business wth any company who has a contact related to The Wall.
The Big One will happen soon enough and we’ll slide right off into the Pacific. Arizona and Nevada will then be coastal property.
No freedom of association?
A political litmus test for city contractors is patently un-Constitutional.
All the civil rights legislation and court decisions have underscored this.
At best only an organization which actively seeks to deny civil rights can be excluded. As the NRA clearly seeks to uphold Second Amendment Civil Rights, the Ordinance will not stand and is an embarrassment to the Constitution.
that would be awesome- what’s good for the goose is good for the gander- start denying contractors jobs if they ever donated to PP, Soros, The democrat party etc- if it’s not discrimination for cities to deny work to NRA supporters, then it’s not discriminatory to deny service to liberal cause supporters
There used to be a list of subversive organizations that you had to disavow when applying for federal employment. Communist Party USA, WEB Debois, etc. were on it. I don't think they use the list any more.
