While we\u2019re heartened that the judge rejected the NRA\u2019s attempts to thwart most of the claims in our case against the NRA, we are disappointed that the judge ruled against the dissolution portion of the case. We are considering our legal options with respect to this ruling. We remain committed to enforcing New York law regardless of how powerful any individual or organization may be.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>James\u2019 lawsuit against the NRA was filed in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The case is <em>New York v.
