Hah!
So, y'know, might disagree with some of the stuff they say, but you think, hey, they're out there to defend the Bill of Rights, right?
Maybe Not.
Heller Decision and the Second Amendment
So, we’ve been getting a lot of comments about the ACLU’s stance on the Second Amendment. For those of you who didn’t catch our response in the blog comments, here it is again:
The ACLU interprets the Second Amendment as a collective right. Therefore, we disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision in D.C. v. Heller. While the decision is a significant and historic reinterpretation of the right to keep and bear arms, the decision leaves many important questions unanswered that will have to be resolved in future litigation, including what regulations are permissible, and which weapons are embraced by the Second Amendment right that the Court has now recognized.
As always, we welcome your comments.
I love it. 'Screw what SCOTUS says about the 2A, we don't like that right.' That's what I'm hearing out of this. So much for defending the BoR, and so much for defending our civil liberties, here they are against one. Bloody brilliant.
Maybe Not.
