Now there is a combination I struggle with. Why has the ACLU kept this "dispicable" American patriot, Constitution-supporting Conservative??? Is he just their "token patriot"??

I wonder if he will explain where the erroneous concept of "Collective Rights" came from? (Richard Nixon and his administrations attempt to disarm the Black Panthers in the '70's) It's time to recognize that there is no such legal principal as a collective rights. It's a fabrication. Rights, by their very nature are individual. The feds, the states, the counties, the cities do not have any "rights" whatsoever. Governments only have "Powers" in the Constitution and no "Rights". The Founding Fathers did not use the terms interchangeably.

But "Collective Rights", is the deformed legal offspring of the Nixon Administration, that the anti-gun lobby keeps alive on a ventilator and is being used by states without a 2nd. Amendment in their Constitution to deny their citizens the "individual" meaning of "Rights" in the Federal Constitution.
