1. A gun is tangable it can be felt, seen, tasted, heard and often times has a smell. Civil liberties are intangable you can't hear, taste, see or smell a civil. This makes their causes intrisincly different when in comes to legal matters, such as defending gun use and civil liberties use, and a comparison of their track records in the legal arena is flawed for the same reason.

2. If you'r going to make claimes like this provide a source or warrants, a statement like this is absurd and only provokes ridicule from other TFPers.

3. A comparison of the two organizations is rather flawed considering that civil liberties don't kill thousands of people every year. I mean you never hear "my friend and I were walking around downtown last night when a thug pulled-out his right to petition with an illegal freedom of assembly mod and killed my friend" now try that sentence with a tec-9 replacing the phrase "right to petition" and silencer replacing "freedom of assembly".
