New York Can’t Be Allowed to Stifle the NRA...says the ACLU

[DeepSouth]

I haven’t seen this anywhere (apologies if I missed it) but I found it interesting so I figured I’d share it... definitely interesting bed fellows, I can’t help but think how wrong NY must be to have the NRA and the ACLU united against them.

In the ACLU’s view, targeting a nonprofit advocacy group and seeking to deny it financial services because it promotes a lawful activity (the use of guns) violates the First Amendment. Because we believe the governor’s actions, as alleged, threaten the First Amendment rights of all advocacy organizations, the ACLU on Friday filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting the NRA’s right to have its day in court.
