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.

If you were wondering "did the ACLU learn anything from August 12, 2017 in Charlottesville?" the answer is that, no, they did not.

I don’t know of a better encapsulation of our motivations for our war on Iraq.
