How does the American Civil Liberties Union count to ten? One, three, five, six . . . The ACLU’s antipathy for the Second Amendment is well established, by both word and lack of deed. To that list we can add hypocrisy . . .
Over at ammoland.com, longtime Second Amendment advocate Alan Korwin clocked this little bit from the ACLU’s STAND magazine:
Speaking of Lyft policy, “The company consistently advocates for fair hiring practices regarding background checks.” Apparently, “traditional processes often create inequitable practices that block it from hiring potentially great talent.”
Joseph Okpaku, the VP of government affairs for Lyft said, “We quickly uncovered an institutional bias in favor of background checks that both rely on fingerprints and also look indefinitely into an applicant’s past. We’ve taken a stand against reliance on fingerprint-based checks that have repeatedly proven to be biased and inaccurate.”
A stance that the ACLU supports. For drivers-for-hire. Gun owners? Ha!
Regarding the Second Amendment in general and firearms purchases in specific, here’s what they have to say about that . . .
The American Civil Liberties Union does not oppose gun control laws. As an organization dedicated to defending all constitutional rights, we believe the Second Amendment allows reasonable restrictions to promote public safety.
The ACLU is not a friend of ours. In case you didn’t know.
There’s no news unless it’s fake news.
I like 9mm because it easy, It’s effective, recoil is manageable, it’s good enough, it’s getting better with new tech, easy to find in stores, etc.
I want Rugers New PC Carbine in 9mm and hope they make a caliber change for 10mm for some hog hunting.
I didn’t know it is illegal to manufacture AP rounds…
I stuff my 9, 40 & 45 with Federal’ HST. Even in a “price be damned” competition, these PREMIUM performance.
The most important thing to remember about shooting any firearm from inside a vehicle. Is to have the barrel outside of the vehicle. I knew a guy who shot a 357 magnum from inside a combine cab at a deer while picking corn. He couldn’t hear shit for 3 days.

So this was the second person they taunted with for weeks? A guy who makes a few bucks selling reloads? That’s it?
I have lots of steel core surplus in .308, is that AP? it can over penetrate anything.
Frankly, I don’t get the fanatic fascination with Glocks. I love my Ruger SR9C and I bought it precisely because it has a frame mounted safety. I just don’t feel comfortable with a trigger-only safety with a round in the chamber. It’s not that I don’t trust it, I don’t trust me! So I do train with the safety at all times. I’m a lefty so the ambidextrous mag release and safety are awesome.
I’ve got the single AAA version in titanium. For whatever reason, it was on Amazon for only $15 and I couldn’t pass it up. I like the moonlight mode but it would make for a lousy tactical light if that’s what you’re after. If you’re looking for a tactical pen light, if there is such a thing, I’d recommend Streamlight. Their Protac AAA if you want strobe, standard Stylus Pro if you want something inexpensive, or their rechargeable Stylus Pro for higher output. All have forward switches for momentary operation, and Streamlight is a great company to deal with in my experience.
At least this guy knows he’ll need trauma gauze if he’s just using that clip without any trigger protection.
So I’m not so sure this guy is full of good ideas.
