The ACLU Deserves Its Status As Part of Murder inc. 2018

If you think the ACLU doesn't belong in that list of those who are putting the guns in the hands of mass murderers such as the one who murdered 17 in Broward yesterday and the one who murdered 26, including 20 little children at the Sandy Hook elementary school, here is what the ACLU put out almost exactly a year ago as Republicans were passing the gun industry agenda.  In the words of Vania Leveille, Senior Legislative Counsel & Susan Mizner, Disability Counsel, ACLU whose names belong on a more detailed list.

This month, Congress repealed a rule that would have registered thousands of Social Security recipients with mental disabilities, who have others manage their benefits, into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System to prevent them from owning firearms.

The American Civil Liberties Union does not oppose gun control laws. As an organization dedicated to defending all constitutional rights, we believe the Second Amendment allows reasonable restrictions to promote public safety.

But gun control laws, like any law, should be fair, effective and not based on prejudice or stereotype. This rule met none of those criteria.

In this era of “alternative facts,” we must urge politicians to create laws based on reliable evidence and solid data.

There is no such thing as a reliable way to identify someone as being dangerously mentally ill, though in the news coverage of both shooters in those cases, it was clear as to how there were signs, though what those signs meant didn't become clear until they'd killed many people.   There is no reason such people should have access to such guns, no one should have access to such guns and the goddamned ACLU is helping put them in the hands of mass murderers.   I think it is obviously part of an agenda held by any group, any party, any media organization that this far into the list of mass shootings they hold to no matter what.

Here is the crux of their argument and ass covering:

The ACLU and 23 national disability groups did not oppose this rule because we want more guns in our community. This is about more than guns. Adding more innocent Americans to the National Instant Criminal Background database because of a mental disability is a disturbing trend — one that could be applied to voting, parenting or other rights dearer than gun ownership. We opposed it because it would do little to stem gun violence but do much to harm our civil rights.

So, the two young men who murdered in Broward yesterday and in Sandy Hook had "a right" to have the guns they used to kill those children,  That's the real bottom line effect of this, not some enhanced level of rights for people with disabilities - I would like a list of those who have been disabled by people who have guns legally under the laws the ACLU supports or whose ownership of them would have been been illegal under laws they opposed.   I'd love to know if they think such "national disabilities groups" represent them in this stand the ACLU uses to cover its bare ass. 

The ACLU is an abomination that, beneath the few PR cases their agenda hides behind, enables the gun industry sponsored slaughter in this country.  It belongs on my list of those responsible.  Liberals who support it are chumps and dupes and idiots or they're liberalism is a fraud.
