Oh, I like that analogy, I like it a lot.TreyHouston wrote:If I open an unlocked door and walk into you house, Am I your guest?
A better analogy would be not just a guest, but a resident who has just as much right to be there as you. A guest can be asked to leave. Those who would support open borders would advocate that it is not right for us to ask them to leave.Charles L.

One better- not a guest or a resident but a family member.Flightmare wrote:A better analogy would be not just a guest, but a resident who has just as much right to be there as you.

The ACLU exists solely to protect the Bill of Rights (yes, that includes the 2nd Amendment), you know, those amendments that protect the individual from the majority. This is the same group that is defending your right to keep and bear arms.
The "sanctuary city" bill went too far IMO ,because it gives the police near "papers please" powers. This bill will legitimize the profiling of honest citizens.
I support the basic intent of the bill that if you are illegal, you are a criminal, and should be handed over to the Feds, but the state is trying to tell local jurisdictions how to do their jobs.
Read their statement closely. It says with Constitutionally allowed restrictions. This is their same stance everywhere. They don't belive the statement, "The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" refers to an individual right.Dadtodabone wrote:The Nevada state level organization. https://www.aclunv.org/en/issues/second-amendmentScott Farkus wrote:I'd be interested in seeing a link to a single time the ACLU defended the 2nd Amendment, at least in a way that the members of this forum view it.

Not at all the same, the others all state their disagreement with SCOTUS rulings like Heller.Jusme wrote:Read their statement closely. It says with Constitutionally allowed restrictions.
