    Tough question in a bipartisan world: when you got 2A and illegals bundled together :shades:

    “To find that illegal immigrants are outside of ‘the people’ protected by the Second Amendment, you must believe that the Framers were talking about a different ‘people’ in the First, Fourth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments”

    Just a reminder, the 5th amendment says “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”. The term is person, not citizen.

    President Trump being kicked off ballots because he was accused of “insurrection“ — bad.

    Person accused by neighbor of being wacko and having firearms taken away (red flag laws) due to that accusation — bad.

    Person accused of being here illegally and having his firearms taken away— should also be bad — unless of course we go running around demanding “Papiere, bitte”.

    The illegal aliens should not be here, should not be allowed to just amble across the borders!!

    That does not mean, however. that they have no rights whatsoever in this country.

    Let me see…

    Illegal immigrants can have guns, but citizens must have theirs taken away.

    So the judge should have ruled that people don’t have the right to keep and bear arms?

    I didn’t see anything in his ruling about taking guns from citizens. It seemed to say the 2A applied to everyone.

    Been chewing on this one a little... everyone, everything right down to a single cell organism has the "natural" right to self defence. That being the case it seems we're talking about tools, which in context, seems moot.

    Keep in mind 99% of the people crossing the border are not illegal, they are legally here awaiting an asylum hearing.
