Republicans say FOID should be void if illegal immigrants can possess guns

– Illinois House Republicans are both condemning and praising a recent federal judge ruling about illegal immigrants being able to carry firearms for protection.

Earlier this month, Northern District of Illinois federal Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman ruled in favor of Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, a foreign national in the u.S. illegally who was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. She said the law violates the Second Amendment as applied in this one case.

“The Court finds that Carbajal-Flores’ criminal record, containing no improper use of a weapon, as well as the non-violent circumstances of his arrest do not support a finding that he poses a risk to public safety such that he cannot be trusted to use a weapon responsibly and should be deprived of his Second Amendment right to bear arms in self-defense,” the judge wrote. “Thus, this Court finds that, as applied to Carbajal-Flores, Section 922(g)(5) is unconstitutional.”

Illegals are NOT US citizens and have no rights to possess anything, let alone weapons. So is this the plan to arm the invaders with weapons, allow them to be a part of LE? We better get serious pretty quickly because if someone would list what needed to be done to takeover the USA, it would be exactly what is happening NOW.

read Kirt Schlicter’s piece available on several conservative websites today....if this doesn’t scare the tar out of you, nothing will....

A Supreme Court ruling a few years ago guaranteed everyone residing in the U.S. regardless of his or her nationality or citizenship status, all Constitutional rights—the same as U.S. citizens have—before the law. Right then and there a dagger thrust into the heart of America. Right there. Is where it all starts and ends. Where do we get these incredibly enlightened and superior intellects, esteemed and elevated to such high positions of power and authority? Just where?

The basic problem is how you are looking at the rights enumerated (not "granted" or "given") by the first ten Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. You have a natural right to speak. This is given to you by God, not some dusty piece of paper. Same goes to the natural Right of self defense. It is granted to you by God and cannot be legitimately invalidated by the laws of man. This means that a visitor to this country would have the right to purchase and use a weapon. The fact that a specific person is not legally in the country is remedied by removing said person from this country. (I'd like to see the use of catapults us for this removal.)

The other problem, is that you cannot have a welfare state with open borders, or the nation will be destroyed by those who take everything, and contribute nothing. Thomas Sowell spoke about this years ago.
