Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Illegal Aliens Can Carry Guns

He had a smart lawyer, and a judge who followed the law... as written. The U.S. Supreme Court heard and gave its rulings on this twice I believe. The last I believe in 2018 or 2019 involving a person that was an international student here on a F1 visa that had recently expired.

Then why can't those in jail have guns?

Nothing lackluster about it. It is written in plain English.

Just meant I'd have said it with more emphasis.

Due process of law

I would have said it with more emphasis also, had I said it.

But I wrote it. The keyboard has no volume control.

I believe the qualifications for voting is a state issue. Back before the 19th amendment an individual state such as Wyoming could allow women to vote when they couldn't in other states.

States decide who can vote.

LOL. You typed it.

Because they're in jail. Once they've served their time/paid their debt to society and are again free, they have the same right and interest in self preservation as anyone else. Of course the gov't says no, a convicted felon has lost that right but they've been twisting and lying about the 2nd to suit for eons. If we are to argue the right to arms/self defense is an inalienable, God given right, then every living soul walking this earth has it, regardles of what goverenments may say.

We shouldn't offer constitutional rights to non citizens or illegals.

Maybe so, but that might require an amendment specifying what rights are reserved for citizens of the USA. At the time the constitution was written the citizens considered themselves citizens of their respective states more than they did the U.S.

We might ought not go down the road of disqualifying certain people the right to be armed unless maybe as punishment for a crime of violence. And that disqualification is already in play.

Unless you want the whole camel in the tent it would be wise to not to let him get his nose in.

Another step closer to their "right" to vote.

Certainly makes a mockery of the 4473 and background checks.

Tell me something. Can you find any prohibition in the U.S. constitution that would stop a state from allowing non citizens the right to vote?

The gleeful arrest of a US citizen for possessing a firearm wouldn't require an illegal alien in a police uniform.

You mean 2 infringements against the 2A?

Can those in jail come and go as they please?

Or are you wanting life for citizens to be more like being in jail with not being able to move about as a restriction?

.gov doesn't create rights.

I’d rather illegals have gun rights than most my neighbors have voting rights.
