That all seems pretty clear to me. It's not up to you to interpret the 2nd Amendment for them.

Not to mention that orgs like the NRA have many times more funding than the ACLU and dedicate every action to that one issue.

Or the fact that you're dealing with a organization that has been one of the biggest and best defenders of oppressed groups in recent history and you're cranky that they're not gonna help you own a handgun like most of congress is.



Friend, you're having an argument with yourself. I didn't say anything related to any of that.

You asked for a cite, I linked you one. That's it.


Any time I read "friend" in this context I feel like you can replace it with just about any word someone wouldn't say in any professional context, and it's more true to the intent.


We're in quite a pickle if de-escalating language is interpreted as rude.

Please take this in the manner it was intended: Avoiding an unnecessary argument.


I ain't your friend, pal.


I am cranky that they aren't willing to make simple statements of support for it.

If an organization that was instrumental in protecting your right to a fair and speedy trial, was against opposed to the idea of free speech, I would still condemn that org for holding that specific position, while still recognizing that they have done good in other areas.
