Gunner, it is the ACLU, as a result of a case they on took on in Georgia
back in the '50s that keeps the city from condemning your back yard. In
that case a man had accumulated a large amount of used equipment in his
yard. Over time a high class subdivision grew up around him and the
city demanded that he remove all the junk. Nobody would defend him but
the ACLU. They won with a defence based on the Fifth Amendment.

Chuckle..the ACLU defends whatever "right of the moment" gives them
the best press and the biggest contributions. Care to provide any 2nd
amendment cases they have taken?

They don't *need* to. They have the NRA for pete's sake.

Then why do we have an "assault rifle" ban?
