Ignoring actual disagreement about what the 2nd amendment means and what policy should be, why would the ACLU invest in 2nd amendment rights in a world where there is already a a strong lobby dedicated to them.
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoThat "strong" lobby is dangerously corrupt and currently bleeding membership because of it. They've also turned themselves into a form of religion and not capable of being a rational actor.
- padseeker 4y agoare you referring to the NRA or the ACLU here?
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoNRA yes. However, it’s about time. In it’s place are a much more modern groups of smaller, more motivated, more focused, and entirely grassroots. SAF and GOA have done more than NRA in the past 10 years anyhow. The only people sad about NRA dissolving are the people internally doing it.
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoPlease let’s not rehash that 2008 Heller and 2010 McDonald have settled that 2A has absolutely always been an individual right - even if you don’t like that outcome. But apparently trying to hide a fact might make it change!
- tiahura 4y agoDon’t need to invest. An occasional brief amicus would suffice.
- flyingfences 4y agoHell, even refraining from filing opposing briefs would suffice.
