ACLU Starts Constitutional Campaign But Excludes Second Amendment

Posted at 2:45 pm on January 16, 2017 by Beth Baumann

With President-Elect Donald Trump’s inauguration a few days away, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has gone all out to encourage liberal protesters to descend on the nation’s capitol.
Their latest ploy involves promoting a “people’s oath” to protect the Constitution. The catch? They want uphold what they think the Constitution says.

These are the type of protestors our men and women in blue are sure to encounter:

There is no liberal melt down, no left wing freak out. There is simply #RESISTANCE everyday All Day 4 the next 4 years #PeoplesOath

Resistance or chaos? You choose.

According to the ACLU’s website and promotional videos, they want to ensure the Constitution is protected. However, their highlighted issues include healthcare, birth control and immigrants’ rights – which aren’t officially enumerated within the document. Notably absent from their petition was the call to protect the right to bear and keep arms.

For the next four years I vow to voraciously defend the 2nd Amendment and religious liberty. #PeoplesOath #tcot @ACLU

@ACLU Why isnt the #ACLU standing strong to protect constitutional right to keep and bear arms? Isnt this a civil liberty? #NRA #PeoplesOath
