WOW, they got that right!
The constitution is for legal and Natural born citizens. Not for those who come here illegally and break our laws.
The “Conicted illegal” should have been shipped back to his country of origin after a severe flogging and some water boarding.
Weird. they got it right.
Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.
Let Freedom Ring,
So now, you will have to show your citizenship papers to have a firearm?
If your papers are not in order, they will siege your weapon and deny you of your Second Amendment Rights.
“Shall not be infringed.” There are no qualifications as to who might infringe or who might be infringed against. I am with the illegal on this one.
Gun possession should not be criminal at all, even for felons. The inappropriate use of a gun is the proper subject of law. The illegal’s illegal entry and/or persistence in illegal residency is certainly a crime and should be legally addressed. If the gun were stolen it would then be “stolen property” and should be prosecuted.

Illegals should have two rights. Either the right to spend the rest of their lives behind bars (still cheaper than them on the streets today) or the right to be shipped back where they came from.
The default conservative interpretation of the Bill of Rights is that they are natural rights and that the purpose of those amendments are to specifically prohibit the government from usurping them. In that light, anyone — resident or not — should be allowed to be bear arms in the United States.
The problem isn’t that an illegal immigrant should or shouldn’t be allowed to bear arms, it’s that there’s a known illegal immigrant who isn’t being transported to the nearest border in the first place.
No gun rights for illegals!
