On August 26, 2024, the National Rifle Association of America (NRA) announced that it has retained former United States Solicitor General Noel Francisco to lead the Association’s continued legal efforts against public officials who weaponized government against the NRA and its members. Mr. Francisco served as the 47th Solicitor General of the United States from 2017 to 2020 and is Partner-in-Charge of the Washington D.C. Office of the Jones Day law firm. The case in question is dubbed NRA v. Vullo, and although our focus is normally the Second Amendment, this litigation is actually about the First. 

“I am pleased to announce that the NRA has engaged with Mr. Francisco and Jones Day to represent the NRA and our millions of members as we conclude this important legal matter,” said Doug Hamlin, NRA Executive Vice President & CEO. “Mr. Francisco is well regarded in the legal community and served at the highest levels in our federal government. A strong advocate for constitutional freedoms, Mr. Francisco will be a trusted voice for NRA members in the courtroom.”
