31. If the ACLU would simply do it's job
on the 2nd Amendment it would make the NRA less necessary politically. In the same way the NRA shouldn't be right wing, the ACLU shouldn't be left wing, IMO. The only reason I can see that the ACLU would fail to support liberal interpretation of the 2nd, as they do all of the other civil liberties, is for political kowtowing to the urban liberals who also are more or less supportive of all civil liberties...except one. So...until the threat to the 2nd is eliminated or the fight is taken up by a different entity, the NRA is here to stay and I will support them on that one mission. If you are an ACLU member, demand they stand up on this issue...the sooner, the better.
