BT¯    So please; cite one case, just one, where the ACLU has
BT¯defended the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution...  BTW,
BT¯the purpose of the Second Amemdment is to provide for the defense
BT¯of the Bill of Rights, and the entire Constitution...
That's simple.  There isn't one.  And considering that they consider
the Second to be little more than permission for the government to
form, and arm a militia, you won't either.
And considering their interpretation of the Second Amendment, I hope
they stay far, far, away from "defending" it!!!
