Posted on: Nevada ACLU supports an individual’s right to bear arms

I am sick and tired of people in gang-controlled, utterly corrupt cities like DC and Chicago, et al, preaching to the rest of us. One would think that looking at a law-abiding, peaceful and productive city or state, you would see a model for success and try to emulate it, rather than blaming us for your problems and trying to get US to adopt YOUR miserably failing (and anti-Constitutional) social experiments. Get a freaking clue, already!

Posted on: Nevada ACLU supports an individual’s right to bear arms

Where guns are illegal, only criminals will have guns.

- or -

Only the law abiding will obey gun laws.

Either way you look at it, how terribly difficult is that to understand?

The Nevada ACLU has taken a step in the right direction. Now we will wait and see if they put actions behind their words. We'll see if they fight to support those who's right to keep and bear arms is being infringed. I've often wondered how the national organization could claim to support human rights while in effect denying the existence of the Second Amendment.

Surely, anyone, privately, can understand the right to live, and the right to be secure in one's home, etc..

Without the use of arms, the weaker among us, and those who may suffer from discrimination, are vulnerable to the strong or to the many. The gun is a great equalizer, and it is a great civilizing influence in a free society. The national ACLU had best get up to speed on this critical issue or it's going to become more of a laughing stock than an influence.
