Heller will get the lower court to bitch-slap DC, who may or may not take it back to SCOTUS. It amazes me that at least the Attorney General can’t do something here. If this was a SCOTUS decision on most any other social issue, the feds would be all over it.

the KKK and NAACP agree on one thing, blacks should be disarmed

So no... don't expect the NAACP to say anything about it.

You need to recognize the difference between "Civil Rights" and fundamental liberties. The right to have access to private arms is a funamental liberty of a free American. "Civil Rights" are rights created by Government, and generally limit the liberties of the people.

Of course the NAACP and the ACLU have never identified with liberty--far from it--although the latter has put on a show for 88 years of being the great champion of liberty, by taking select cases, that generally challenge the rights of communities to apply their own standards. The ACLU, if you look more closely, has never championed the rights to bear arms, nor property rights, nor the rights of local communities to celebrate their religious traditions. They are not a libertarian organization, despite their efforts to convince the world that they are.

The NAACP, ADL & ACLU, have somewhat different functions, but they have acted in tandem for three generations, in a fairly well coordinated attack on the American heritage. Conservatives need to understand that and to take messures to respond appropriately. Failure to understand that, will leave anyone scratching their head, as to why certain actions have taken place.

ACLU must defend what? Can’t be rights, because this one is explicit in the Constitution, so doesn’t exist, means the opposite of what it says, and has no place in a living document (Repeat until brainwashed).
