Lawyers' Professional Standards Group
Promotes 'Gun Control' Over Protecting Rights
Opinion by Larry Keane. March 9, 2020
(AmmoLand.com) - How many lawyers does it take to... stop me if you have heard that joke before? Sadly, what the American Bar Association (ABA) has done recently is no laughing matter.
Apparently, currying political favor is more important to the ABA than fulfilling its core mission.
The ABA recently ramped up its attempts to restrict lawful gun ownership and further stigmatize the firearm industry.
The association, which sets professional and academic standards expected of those practicing law, recently adopted three resolutions that abandon core American liberties. The ABA's mission is, "To serve equally our members, our profession and the public by defending liberty and delivering justice as the national representative of the legal profession." Despite that, the association passed resolutions on so-called "ghost guns," firearm permits and mandatory firearm storage requirements.
Take another read of that mission statement, especially the part about defending liberty. It's curious that there's no mention of publicly advocating for the erosion of Constitutional rights. Yet, this is exactly what they're doing. The ABA has long been against the rights of gun owners and touts that it has been a "leader on the issue of gun violence" for over 50 years.
..... 
Perhaps ABA's mission statement should read -
"To serve equally our members, our profession and the public by defending liberty and delivering justice as the national representative of the legal profession, so long as those members don't value their individual, G-d-given right to keep and bear arms."
