If this were a strictly 2nd Amendment issue, the ACLU wouldn't lift a finger. However, they are ferocious when it comes to defending the rest of the Constitution. Since this is a First Amendment / abuse of government power issue, they are front and center. They sided with the NRA when the Obama administration wanted to make being on a secret "terrorist" list grounds for a NICS denial.

“The backlash has already spurred other ACLU chapters to declare that they don’t believe free-speech protections apply to events like the one in Charlottesville, and led the ACLU’s national director, Anthony Romero, to declare the group will no longer defend the right to protest when the protesters want to carry guns.” - https://www.vox.com/2017/8/20/161678...harlottesville |

This reminds me of the words attributed to Gandhi, “There goes my people. I must follow them, for I am their leader.”

On the SS one, the claim was that people who did not manage their own financial affairs shouldn't have guns. The ACLU supported the NRA position. On the "no fly/no buy" list, the claim was that people who are on a secret list for secret reasons shouldn't have guns. The ACLU again supported the NRA position. And now this. I'm starting to think buying the ACLU was one of the NRA's smartest investments. Or something. |

I have just deleted 24 posts (including a post I made) as being off topic.
Any further "Russia Connection" related post in this thread is off topic. The thread is about the lawsuit against New York. |
