I had heard, but not seen confirmation of this. Thanks for the link (which I just corrected, as it led to page 3).

Yeah, I'm pretty fond of this link. Already tweeting it- When @ACLU and the @NRA don't like a BG Check bill, it's time to write a better one.

Chris Calabrese is the ACLU's litigator for privacy issues. His concern is potential misuse of personal information.
It's not a striking about-face from them on the RKBA, but I'll take the help. Their opposition carries real weight in the legislature.

Without looking it up -busy - the NRA and ACLU have cooperated on similar issues in the past.
Just remember that the ex-PM of Australia is doing the talk show circuit saying that is good Australia doesn't have a BOR. That's a good thing as it keeps the courts from protecting civil rights according to that genius.
