ACRU files two SCOTUS briefs upholding Second Amendment rights

ACRU recently filed two amicus briefs with the Supreme Court questioning whether lifetime bans on firearm ownership in cases where citizens were convicted of non-violent crimes is constitutional as applied. In separate cases, a woman convicted of tax fraud in 2011 and a man convicted of misdemeanor DUI in 2005 were blocked from firearm purchases after they satisfied their sentences and have been law-abiding since. In both cases, ACRU argues these convictions should not block the right of these Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

Congratulations to incoming congressional conservatives

The incoming freshman class on Capitol Hill includes historic firsts for conservative members who promise to stand firm against government overreach while protecting individual and economic liberty. So far, this movement is led by new GOP members from diverse backgrounds that have provided them with an understanding of tyranny and the danger of socialism, including three Cuban-Americans, an Iranian-American, and a Ukrainian American.

Will liberal politicos appoint black-robed henchmen?

Sometimes it's best just to quote a well-written article, like this one by Cato Institute’s Doug Bandow on the upcoming fight for a Constitutional judiciary: “left-wing jurisprudence means making everything up as one goes along. The Constitution and written laws are irrelevant. Judges decide what new rules they want to implement that day. What injustice must be remedied? What practices should be proscribed? What conduct should be mandated?”

Mr. Bean and cancel culture’s “medieval mob”

Who would have expected Mr. Bean to be the oracle of anti-cancel culture wisdom, but in a recent interview, British actor Rowan Atkinson brilliantly noted the absurd dangers of allowing a one-sided, biased algorithm created by liberal control freaks to decide who wins or loses within society. Mr. Bean may have been canceled, but Mr. Atkinson clearly has not.

Euthanasia by bureaucrats in LA

The first right in America’s first founding document is “life.” Yet Los Angeles County is instructing paramedics to withhold treatment and hospital transport from COVID patients perceived as in end stages of life. This is morally reprehensible for the patient—and for paramedics who dedicate their lives to saving others, and should not be forced to make decisions of who lives or dies. This puts LA in its own hideous class of COVID crisis tyrants.

Teaching liberty during this oppressive lockdown and beyond

COVID created a nation of homeschooling parents. We fully understand that for many families, this has been difficult. It also presents new opportunities for parents to teach kids lessons in civics and actual history, as opposed to teachers unions’ slanted and revised history.

Would you like a side of worship with that?

ACRU recently defended an Anne Arundel, MD pastor fined by the health department for not wearing a mask in an empty building. Now a local judge is questioning county officials about their desire to put local restaurants out of business. Restaurants have paid lobbyists and lawyers; churches don't. We hope local courts will take notice of their loss of liberty as well, soon, even without the paid influence.
