The National Rifle Association agreed on Friday to end its lawsuit challenging a Los Angeles law that had required city contractors to disclose their ties to the gun rights group, after the Los Angeles City Council repealed the law. In a joint filing, lawyers for the NRA and Los Angeles asked U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson to transform his Dec. 11 preliminary injunction against enforcement into a permanent injunction, following the Jan. 21 repeal. The NRA agreed not to seek damages and will negotiate how much Los Angeles will pay toward its legal bills. The Los Angeles law had taken effect last April 1. In November, the NRA ended its lawsuit against San Francisco over being called a domestic terrorist organization by city officials, after the officials said they were simply criticizing the group.
