Hm; to me this sounds rather in line with the following quote from page 4 of the OP document:
"Against drilling with arms, as testified to before a Congressional committee,
the Union will also fight—even for the enactment of laws, if necessary, to prohibit arms in the hands of political organizations."
Is there some subtle (?) difference I didn't notice between this sentence and the reported change in policy?
- nl 9y agoQuote: An ACLU spokeswoman confirmed the policy shift and said the concern over weapons was not something the group has had to contend with in the past. So I'm assuming the ACLU knows what their policy was, and this was a change. I guess sometime between the 1934 document posted and yesterday the ACLU's policy changed to defend protests where guns were carried, and now they are looking at that again. Notably they went to court to defend the Charlotteville protest, and they knew open-carry milita were planning to come.
