You choosing the ACLU over the DEA reveal more about you than the DEA.
What are you gonna do if it is ACLU vs ATF?
I can’t think of anything that the ATF does that is positive and they certainly have more than their share of villainous activities on their resume.
I'm no fan of the ACLU either, but I would much rather be "under" the ACLU than the DEA. The ACLU's view of the law would lead to us being crime victims to a much greater extent than we are now, but so long as we still get to exercise our Second Amendment rights, I would deem that a worthy tradeoff.
As I write, a Sex Offender Notification that arrived in yesterday's mail sits on top of the stack. Yavapai County informs us that a known pedophile has moved into our complex. I'll have to call Game and Fish on Monday to apply for a tag.
