Can't speak for the ACLU but my in my view it is an obsolete and
ineffective
Amendment bearing much in common with the 3rd Amendment.
For the purpose of this discussion let's assume the right is a personal
right
and not limited to State run Militias.
It was still designed to allow people the right to defend their liberty.
When
muskets and long rifles were the mainstays of even the most advanced Armys
of
the world, such an amendment made sense.
Today where F-22s, M-1 Abrahms tanks and nuclear powered aircraft carriers
control the land, the air and the sea, our little pea shooters are pretty
much
of a joke. Hell, we can't even readily make IEDs.
Taking another tack, let's read hunting into the Amendment and claim that
the
right to bear arms was necessary so people could hunt and feed their
family.
Well in case you hadn't noticed, there are supermarkets in most every
community
and the people who take guns to the supermarkets are not hunting for food.
Just as there are no soldiers being quartered in our homes neither can our
non-automatic weapons do anything to protect our freedoms.
Why spend time and money on an obsolete Amendment when the Government is
trying
to infringe on many other of our Constitutional rights.
