Daily Caller:
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) defended the National Rifle Association (NRA) by opposing the New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s attempts to put the gun advocacy group out of business.
The ACLU submitted an amicus brief in federal court on Saturday, weighing in on the on-going battle between the Democrat and the NRA.
The NRA filed a lawsuit against Cuomo and the state’s financial regulatory bureau in July, contending that the agency instituted a “blacklisting campaign” by threatening insurers and financial institutions that associate with the organization. The bureau warned that by counting to work with the NRA, banks and insurance companies could face regulatory action.
The NRA has subsequently been deprived of basic insurance and may be “unable to exist as a not-for-profit or pursue its advocacy mission.” more here
Blind pig finds acorn.
You got to hand it to the ACLU. Love ’em or hate ’em, they will defend your rights when they are threatened. Even if you’re the KKK.
Reports are coming in over the wires that Hell has just frozen over.
The far left communist organization known as the ACLU will defend some of your rights and attack others all the way to the death of you and our nation.

Yes, but where are they to defend Robert Spencer, David Horowitz and others who have lost the ability to fund themselves using Visa or Mastercard. The ACLU is taking on Cuomo because this is a government action and could allow conservatives to inflict the same sort of pain on liberal organizations.
The ACLU has already stated they they are not going to defend certain groups whose actions run counter to theirs. This is not about defending the Second Amendment, this is about protecting cash flow for non-profits from government strong arming banks and insurance groups.
Years ago I asked the then titular head of the MT ACLU if they planned to defend the Second Amendment here in MT. His answer was “No! That is NOT in our interests!”.
Yeah, well, I’m suspicious. lol
