2A Applies To Illegal Aliens

[TI-tick]

The court has ruled that the GCA is unconstitutional.

By that logic illegals get to vote also.

No. The Constitution did NOT specify who may vote. The 19th Amendment updated the situation.

The Nineteenth Amendment provides:

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation

To me, you answered the question. Do not non-citizens have limited rights here until they become full fledged citizens? If not, than why go through all the trouble?

Estate matters is one. A non citizen spouse pays estate taxes if spouse dies.

****Gun show loophole...

You can apparently get anything you want, including machine guns, howitzers, and crew assisted weaponry with under 155mm shells at a gun show without showing any ID or even having to prove you are human and not just humanoid-like, which is a lower standard. I guess anything above 155mm, or nukes requires at least one form of ID maybe?

I was all set to get one of the 153mm towed Guns guns but then I heard you can never find any shells for them. Kind of like with the those 38mm flare launchers that were supposed to help out with M203 envy.

Complete buzzkill.

I do believe we are bearing witness to exactly this. Illegals may not be able to vote, but they are counted in the census so there is that.

Some local municipalities in several states allow residents to vote locally, including illegals.

Federal vote must be a US Citizen for now. There are plenty of people with green cards paying more Federal taxes than I do that can't vote. I'd rather they had the right than many citizens paying no taxes.

Yup, our very own District of Columbia is one of those municipalities. I would 100% be behind some form of voter controls along the lines of being a tax payer. This would be a step in the right direction of ensuring that one has skin in the game.

GCA?

 

[BurkeM]

Gun Control Act of 1968.

18 USC 922(g)(5)

Thanks, you've been a great help...

Did you even READ the original post?


“The noncitizen possession statute, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5), violates the Second Amendment as applied to Carbajal-Flores,” Judge Colman wrote in US v. Carbajal-Flores. “Thus, the Court grants Carbajal-Flores’ motion to dismiss.”

[Muleskinner]

Like voting?

This is not good.

Yeah, that's where I was going with this. Although it's going to be fun to watch the left squirm if this gets to SCOTUS level. If they fight it, their chances of getting illegals to vote will be non existent,. If they don't fight it their gun control agenda will take a hit.

Then WTF do you propose for those who pay no taxes and vote?

****Remember it has to be under 155mm or you have to show ID at the Gun Show to take advantage of the loophole!!!

You can have it but not the HiLux

 

[rambling_one]

That's a different argument. I think an argument that makes sense is that it applies to all people who are here legally. If you are vacationing, here on a Visa or a citizen, then it applies to you.

My impression as well.

 

[Boats]

Yep. Because Europeans don't eat enough American chicken.

Not joking.

****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....

Juan, it is nice to meet you. I am Cheech from East LA. via Tijuana

 

[AbolishTheNFA]

I think this a great opportunity for the SC to clarify who exactly the founders regarded as “people” in their time. While you may see this as a slippery slope to non citizen voting, it could also be applied to remove voting rights of current citizens that don’t meet the intended definition of “people” in the American colonies during 1776.
The slippery slope can fall both ways. It is much easier to be honest and concise than play games in the long run. Liberal activist judges and prosecutors are just winding up a pendulum. God help us all.
