There are several anti-rule lawsuits in process for months now, and as far as I know the NRA has not been a litigant in any of them. They’ve made some publicity noise, and I think they filed friend of the court brief or something, but they haven’t been a plaintiff on this issue until they attempted to join the North Texas case to piggyback on the prelim injunction granted to the real plaintiffs, which attempt was denied this past weekend. The more the merrier, but they seem awfully late to the party.
