Amendment issue although I'm not sure that it's a battle they could
win if they tried.

I'll try to save you some time by providing a link to the ACLU web site
that states the position of the ACLU national group on one hand and another
link wherein the Texas chapter of the ACLU of Texas actually joined with
the NRA in defending gun rights:

"Why doesn't the ACLU support an individual's unlimited right to keep
and bear arms?""

"The ACLU Defends Gun Rights"

If anyone ever forms a U.S. national organization that defends all our
civil rights then I would support it.
