True enough. My mistake. I guess my badly communicated point was that the NRA takes on all legislation and actions which restrict the use and ownership of guns.

The ACLU does not take on all issues of free speech, just the ones that fit their agendas. The one pointed to at the start of this thread is a prime example. Should the right to display a flag not be defended just as enthusiastically as the right to burn one?
