20  NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA v. VULLO 

Opinion of the Court 

* 

* 

* 
For the reasons discussed above, the Court holds that the 
NRA plausibly alleged that Vullo violated the First Amend-
ment by coercing DFS-regulated entities to terminate their
business relationships with the NRA in order to punish or
suppress the NRA’s advocacy.

The judgment of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Second 
Circuit is vacated, and the case remanded for further pro-
ceedings consistent with this opinion.7 

It is so ordered. 

—————— 

7 On remand, the Second Circuit is free to reconsider whether Vullo is 

entitled to qualified immunity.
