Soon after the Supreme Court’s D.C. vs. Heller decision came down, the ACLU of Nevada became the first ACLU affiliate to officially support an individual right to bear arms. (The national ACLU still contends that it is a collective not individual right.) This has always been a controversial issue within the organization, leading to the joke: “How does an ACLU member count to 10? 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.”

Took me a minute to get the joke.

Congratulations to a certain domestic pest for presumably having a hand in this. I would like to think the ACLU of NV will get more cooperation from the large libertarian element in the state as a result.

By the way, how often does the ACLU take up the valiant and under-appreciated fight for the third amendment? Reading third amendment cases is an AWESOME pastime.

Yay. Although, I have to say I am rather surprised.
