Another corrupt, political prosecution from leftist government scum.

Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.

In Virginia, they accomplished what the NAACP racists prevented in Broward county

The Constitution applies to the government. It defines and limits government power. It does not confer or create rights, it prevents the government from infringing on rights.

You do realize that non-citizens have all the same rights, except for voting, that citizens do?

Whether it is free speech, the right to due process, etc. - I see nothing that says the 2A is any different.

I’m a naturalized citizen, I went through the process.

I may agree or disagree (though I believe non-citizens should NOT be allowed to own or carry weapons in this country) but this is Virginia Tech, and like it or not, everyone having anything to do with weapons (likely including Mexicans or Africans here illegally, though it is hard to imagine even THEY would be stupid enough to go to a firing range, or even try to get a license) is going to be watched.

PARTICULARLY if you are Asian. As another poster said, they are touchy about that there. For better or worse, that is a fact.

When I go on a plane nowadays, yes...I look at people of middle eastern extraction with a careful eye. Right or wrong, I am a little sensitive about that as well.

“...but the Constitution doesn’t apply to non-citizens.”
IMO, that is the way it “should” be. But the courts have held....

We look to what the Constitution does or doesn’t say.
Unless the words of the Constitution expressly sets apart it’s protections to US citizens only, it protects non-citizens here too.

When I was in Hawaii, there were all sorts of flyers and on street ad men, selling trips to the gun range. These were aimed (no pun intended) at Japanese tourists. They could come to America and shoot guns as a tourist thing to do.

Although he is not a citizen, he was able to buy a gun legally.
The whole case against him hinges on the word of a cop who says he saw him shooting with a 30 round mag. It sounds like that may be a lie.
I too think a non-citizen shouldn’t be able to buy a gun, but to jail and deport him over this, if he is innocent, is exactly the kind of thing gungrabbers would like to do to all of us.

“Not a citizen. Seems like he should not be buying guns to begin with.”

That is not U.S. law.

Uphold the law or change it.

By the way, a person does not have to be a citizen to tote a machine gun for the U.S. government.

My first thought our Constitution is for America’s citizens.

6 months here on a visa would disqualify from firearms ownership, use.

What would they do in Mexico? Now that is Freeper Funny,.

Considering there has been video evidence presented to the court of him shooting with a 20 round mag that day, I'd say yes the policeman lied.

It doesn’t seem to apply to citizens either.

This is what gun ownership in America looks like without the Second Amendment.

So, the 2nd Ammendment is only for hunting if it is exercised by a non-immigrant alien? And you have to have the hunting licence to prove it?

What a Yuge mess!

"Internet searches prove nothing."

Apparently, you've never heard of "thought crimes".

To: I want the USA back
Internet searches prove nothing.

I agree.

That said, DO NO SEARCH in google, bing, yahoo or any other non-private browser, if your search is sensitive, even if your reason is completely innocuous.

For example, there was a story recently about a guy who dissolved his victims in acid. Curious, one might be tempted to go to google and type in "what kind of acid dissolves a body". No harm, no foul. A year later, some nutcase kills your neighbor or someone you know and dissolves them in acid. Guess who they are looking at now?

duckduckgo, IXquick(start page) or one of the other ones accessed through private browsing in your browser is the MINIMUM level of privacy for innocuous searches of sensitive subjects. Better yet, fire up the your TOR browser and search one of the private engines. Even better, is to get a VPN to a private out of the US/EU proxy and do all of the above.

If you can't do the above, simply never search anything that you wouldn't be willing to share with the world because, that is in effect what you are doing.

...the right of the people to hunt with a low capacity (single shot) hunting rifle , shall not be infringed.

Dems say they respect the 2nd Amendment,

Which is pretty much what the Courts have held. But I would submit that Congress has the authority to regulate non-citizens, and in fact Congress has given the President authority over immigration.
