The NRA is entirely capable of defending themselves. They do not need the ACLU's help. The ACLU is choosing to use their limited resources to help a white nationalist organization that's dedicated to the right of white Americans to murder people of color with impunity. They could simplify file an amicus brief. They could say a supportive thing in the press. They could say nothing. But, instead, they're all-in, allowing the NRA to save money on lawyers. This is shameful.
The NRA is moderate to the point of basically being useless. And the idea that they are racist is just retarded. Organizations that want to disarm people aim to keep them vulnerable, dependent, clamoring for govt protection, & easily coerced by those in power. Those policies hurt minorities & the poor the most, so "gun control" efforts are almost as racist today as efforts to disarm Native Americans were earlier in US history.
