The ACLU Dukes It Out Over Gun Rights - With The ACLU
Well, maybe pigs do fly.
The Nevada chapter of the ACLU has broken ranks with the national organization and is backing the Supreme court’s recent decision on the Second Amendment, AKA the Heller decision:
Gun rights are so popular in Nevada that they are backed by even the state chapter of a liberal group that conservatives usually love to hate. And Republicans are in clover.
Nevada’s pistol-packing Gov. Jim Gibbons, a Republican, welcomed the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada to his posse in the gun debate after the group broke with the national ACLU to champion the Second Amendment guarantee for an individual right to keep and bear arms.
Let’s see...what’s wrong with this picture?
The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) is an organization that supposedly defends citizens whenever their Constitutional rights are usurped or challenged. So, out of all fifty states, the Nevada ACLU are so far the only ones who are stepping up and saying, hey, it’s Constitutional. The Supreme Court says so. Therefore we will defend our citizen’s right to keep and bear arms.
The rest of the organization seems content to cherry pick what they support and what they don’t based on ideology instead of the Constitution.
Even the NRA is applauding the Nevada ACLU over this one.
Maybe the rest of the ACLU will look at this and come around to the facts of the issue instead of looking at it through the twisted lens of liberal ideology. Yeah. Okay. And maybe there’ll be world peace and flowers for everyone and we’ll all live happily ever after.
Regardless of what the rest of the ACLU does, though, my hat’s off to the Nevada folks. They got it right.
