The point is - if the 2A covers him - how can it NOT cover you? That's the unintended consequence of this.

I like and agree with your theoretical point. But I think there is ample evidence every day in the headlines, that there is a double standard of justice in this country now. Clearly the current laws are enforced differently for white people and people of color. That is reality.
I wish I was wrong, I wish arbitrary ATF rules were invalidated by this case, but I'd bet heavily this won't pass muster in the first round of appeals.

You're going to need to find a lefty willing to appeal this ruling and stand on the fact that an illegal immigrant is not covered under US law and subject to rules/regulations that US citizens aren't and thus don't have standing or rights to US perks, like say - voting.

They'll have to chose what they love more - illegal immigrants or restricting guns. I have a feeling they'll chose the immigrants and we, as a by product, end up with the gun rights restored.
