2A Applies To Illegal Aliens

Judge rules ban on illegal immigrants owning firearms is unconstitutional.

Gun Ban for Illegal Immigrants Ruled Unconstitutional - The Federal Observer

The right to keep and bear arms is a natural right, meaning all free men and women have that right, regardless of where they are on the planet. It’s part of why so many of us find other nations’ gun laws so insulting. It’s a repression of people’s right to have weapons to defend themselves […]

The Second Amendment protects people’s ability to own a gun even if they’ve entered the country illegally.

Conundrum for Maryland.

Hmmm.. does this mean that other rights are granted to them?

Wait till judges rule that the NFA don't apply to them.....

****If that's the case, call me Juan as I just head to Mexico, jump back over the border to the USA and go to town buying NFA stuff without those pesky rules applying to my now illegal ass....

O'dumbo and Holder set precedent. Fascinating times for COTUS.

That judge is playing games.

This! Only citizens of a society have rights, as members of that society. Non-citizens only have privileges allowed by any individual society.

That is the only federal gun law that an Obama appointee would find unconstitutional.
Guarantee she'd uphold every other infringement.

This is a complex area. Let’s say you’re a tourist, a non-citizen, from Ireland, visiting the US. Should that person get the protections of, say, the 4th or 5th amendments? Should that person enjoy - while here legally - the 1A’s protection of the freedom of association? If the Bill of Rights only applies to citizens, what about good people in the middle of the years long process of naturalization, who have a green card, etc?

The 2A/illegal immigrant issue should be simpler. Their first act in the context of being on US soil is to break the law. Maybe we should examine whether that lawbreaking should rise to the prohibitive level.

Back when I worked in a gun shop, I had to get a green card from any alien who came in. No green card, no gun. So this activist judge is changing the law regarding gun ownership. Alf can get a gun!

Need to be convicted of prohibitive law... and given the numbers, I don't see that happening.

I believe the courts have mostly ruled on green card with 2A, at least those from US territories that are not US citizens (American Samoa comes to mind).

But how would they legally obtain a firearm, at least in the state of Maryland (and most of the blue states) and how would they qualify for a CCW?

 

[KingClown]

So they are going to pass the Background check done at purchase how?
This is a judge trying to twist Bruen to get it over turned in the future should the left pack the court or have the majority again

So our communist government lets in a army of illegal aliens who now need to be armed. We now have given people who if they are of a military mission to destroy this nation, every means to do so.

THIS. I swear that these pinheads are trying to kill us all. Let's let an invading army cross the boarder and then let them arm themselves once they get here... what could go wrong?

I thought being in the country illegally was a felony. I thought a felony disqualified a person. I think the failure is 100% jusdicial branch for not enforcing it. I think it would be fair to impose teh same penalty their home country has.
Mexico - a penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five hundred thousand pesos
bolivia - Deportation for 3 years and fine
China - Imprisonment, criminal detention, or public surveillance, and fine, depending on nature of offense; foreigners also subject to deportation.
El Salvador - Expulsion.
