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?""

http://www.aclu.org/police/gen/14523res20020304.html

"The ACLU Defends Gun Rights"

http://www.reason.com/blog/show/119544.html

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


I especilly like this from the ACLU site

"IN BRIEF
The national ACLU is neutral on the issue of gun control. We believe that
the Constitution contains no barriers to reasonable regulations of gun
ownership. If we can license and register cars, we can license and register
guns. "

I wonder how they would react if there were a law that required you to be
registered to speak?
