The NRA and the ACLU in a surprise announcement have announced that they intend to aggressively pursue any and all gun control laws as curtailing basic civil rights.

ACLU spokesperson Dorthy Elrich stated "After months of review on the Landmark Supreme court case DC vs. Heller, the ACLU has come to the conclusion that the Second amendment is absolutely a civil right and should be defended as such. We support the rights of the people to keep and bear arms and that that right shall not be infringed in any way. As a result of this conclusion we intend to fight for these rights on every front possible.

Their first targets will be to file suits against the worst gun control laws in the US, including Pennsylvania's draconian gun control laws and the rest of those on the east coast restricting magazine size, and semi automatic firearms with various attachments such as forward pistol grips and adjustable stocks.

Also part of the surprise announcement, Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri has also announced her support for the Second Amendment. Citing "After all, it is the second amendment in the Bill of Rights. Even going so far as to say "it very clearly says... 'Shall not be infringed' right at the end."



The NRA is also filing suit in Florida on their newest gun control laws.
