One of the rare times Chicago aldermen attempted to do something about gangs rather than another "blame it on a gun " law. 9 people shot last sunday in Chicago and I think the ALCU should partially hold themselves for the blame on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-20071288672234459422010-05-25T01:50:48.771-05:002010-05-25T01:50:48.771-05:00ACLU was founded by a communist.

If the Second Amendment is "anachronistic", then why are the other 9 ok? When was the last time you heard about generals stationing soldiers in houses? So why do we not just get rid of that dumb thing, and simplify the printing of the Bill of Rights? <br /><br />Instead, it is the Second Amendment that is somehow outdated, while they exercise their First-Amendment-protected rights to advocate disarming law-abiding citizens in the presence of criminals who very much wish to cause those citizens harm. <br /><br />Straight up, irrational fear, I get, and if they made their arguments from that position (since it is their position, after all), I would hardly have a problem with it - I would disagree with it, but at least the logic of the argument would be sound (or as sound as emotional bases can be). But this bulldren? Crap on a crutch - a five-year-old on a playground can come up with a better position than this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-78726681146000340922010-05-24T17:38:54.635-05:002010-05-24T17:38:54.635-05:00I sent an email to them right after Heller asking ...I sent an email to them right after Heller asking their stand on the Second Amendment. They told me they didn't care what the supreme court said, that it was neither an individual right nor a civil liberty, so they did not believe in defending it.BobGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405172215849046373noreply@blogger.com
