hi everybody, i use to come here all the time but haven't for quite some time. Now I'm not a political person but i have been wondering what has happened to the aclu? do they just go to court to keep God out of schools? I mean I haven't heard anything about them going after that bill that was passed and signed so the gov't can pick any citizen up at will and jail them with out charges or trial.Maybe everyone here should contact them and urge them to go to court and do something useful. another task for this board is to get everyone to go to the white house website and petition the prez to declare the brady's gun grabbers a terrorist organization just a thought sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum
 
Welcome back Roy, and you're right the ACLU is no friend of the Constitution...
 
Welcome back.

The ACLU, at least on a national level, 'disagrees' with the SCOTUS decisions regarding the 2nd Amendment. From their website:

The ACLU disagrees with the Supreme Court's conclusion about the nature of the right protected by the Second Amendment. We do not, however, take a position on gun control itself. In our view, neither the possession of guns nor the regulation of guns raises a civil liberties issue.
 
State level ACLU's just might help an individual gun owner. Just looking at the past year, here are some positives:

3/8/2012 City of Philadelphia Sued for Retaliating Against Gun Rights Advocate - Settled, awarded $25K
filed a federal lawsuit today against the city of Philadelphia on behalf of Mark Fiorino, a gun rights advocate who legally carries an unconcealed weapon in public (open carry). The suit alleges that the Philadelphia Police Department filed retaliatory charges against Fiorino after it learned that there was a YouTube recording of Philadelphia police officers threatening to shoot and screaming profanities at an unresisting Fiorino in February 2011. Fiorino was cleared of all charges in October 2011.
