CHARLESTON West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has joined a 16-state effort to protect those who cherish the Second Amendment to choose whether they wish to assemble as members of the National Rifle Association.
The recent brief supports the NRA’s efforts to reorganize and, likewise, opposes an attempt by New York Attorney General Letitia James to dismiss the organization’s chapter 11 bankruptcy petition.
It represents the latest in a continuing effort by the coalition to oppose a New York lawsuit that seeks to dissolve the NRA and undermine the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
“The Second Amendment is a bedrock principle,” Morrisey said. “We remain fervent in defending the right to bear arms for all West Virginians as well as their First Amendment right to assemble as law-abiding citizens who cherish self-defense and the freedom to live their lives as they choose.”

Attorneys general from 13 mostly Republican states, including Utah, sued President Joe Biden’s administration on Wednesday over a rule in the federal stimulus that prohibits states from using coronavirus relief money to offset tax cuts.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Alabama seeks to strike down the provision in the massive relief package signed by Biden that bars states from using $195 billion of federal aid “to either directly or indirectly offset a reduction” in net tax revenue. The restriction could apply through 2024.
