And the Outrage Ensued

| Comments (1) |

Via Kim DuToit I found a post at ACLU's blog from July 1st titled "Heller Decision and the Second Amendment". The gist of how the ACLU feels about the recent Heller decision being, "The ACLU interprets the Second Amendment as a collective right. Therefore, we disagree with the Supreme Court's decision..."

Their statement is completed with the tagline: "As always, we welcome your comments."
What follows is a firestorm of commentary that as of today reaches close to 900 comments. That's not a typo, it's nine-hundred.

What I found very interesting about the whole thing was the overwhelming number of pro-2A commentary, some of which appears to be from longtime ACLU membership ranks, and much of it expressing outrage at the ACLU's public stance on the Second Amendment after the Heller decision. It was not till entry #39 that there was even a comment that suggested the ACLU's stance was appropriate, and out of the first 100 (which was as far as I went), there were a grand total of 3. This is the sort of rare thing that makes me feel positive about the direction we're going. This many people acting out so vocally against that organizations bad policy has to be a good sign.

As a side note, although unconfirmed, it appears that our host Linoge logged in with comment #41. I would be surprised if there was another "Linoge" out there advocating Second Amendment rights, but I guess crazier things have happened.

Yeah, that one was me...

Certainly would be nice if I had a digital clone out there taking on some of the work for me, though...
