ACLU comes out in favor of the SECOND amendment!

Posted on March 21, 2008

But only as part of their campaign to defend illegal immigration:

“A federal judge has stopped enforcement of a Kentucky law barring non-citizens from carrying concealed deadly weapons. U.S. District Judge Thomas Russell said the law is written too broadly and violates the rights of attorney Alexander M. Say, a British national who has lived in Kentucky for 15 years. …

The [ACLU] sued the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department and Kentucky State Police on behalf of Say. The ACLU challenged the citizenship requirement, saying Kentucky lawmakers should not have passed the law. … Say argued that no federal law requires U.S. citizenship for people to be licensed to purchase, carry, transport or carry a concealed deadly weapon, and neither should state law.”

Did anyone at the ACLU ever hear of the Tenth Amendment?

I’m not sure that the subject line of this post is accurate… How is the second amendment infringed by restricting its application to American citizens?

If there is anyone I’d want to ban from carrying a concealed firearm, it would be the person who’s already shown his disregard for the law by crossing the border illegally. Just my two cents.
