The Supreme Court ruled today in favor of the National Rifle Association (NRA) in its case against a New York state official accused of infringing on the organization’s First Amendment right to free speech. In response to the NRA v. Vullo decision, Attorney General Austin Knudsen issued a statement.

"The Supreme Court made the right decision today in protecting one of the greatest privileges we have as Americans: free speech," Knudsen stated. "The Justices unanimously affirmed what we already knew, elected officials cannot use their authority to financially cripple or stifle their political opponents’ First Amendment rights. As attorney general, I will continue to fight for the rights of Montanans and all Americans."
