The thousands of Americans whose disability benefits are managed by someone else range from young people with depression and financial inexperience to older adults with Down syndrome needing help with a limited budget. But no data — none — show that these individuals have a propensity for violence in general or gun violence in particular.
The ACLU and 23 national disability groups did not oppose this rule because we want more guns in our community. This is about more than guns. Adding more innocent Americans to the National Instant Criminal Background database because of a mental disability is a disturbing trend — one that could be applied to voting, parenting or other rights dearer than gun ownership. We opposed it because it would do little to stem gun violence but do much to harm our civil rights.
Had to re-read that.. At first i thought they said they wanted more guns in our communities..
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. . . Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them."

"other rights dearer than gun ownership" ??? Somehow, that doesn't sound quite right to my ears...but there's no need to explain why on a pro-2A forum like this.

Steam control. I have to commend ACLU for recognizing that all rights are interconnected. It must have been painful for them.

You can't have one without the other. If no gun rights, then the other rights, no matter how "dear" will all disappear in short order. Just ask the nice folks living in North Korea.
