Illinois Judge rules illegal immigrants have gun rights protected by 2nd Amendment – FOX News

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman on Friday ruled that a federal prohibition on illegal immigrants owning firearms is unconstitutional as applied to defendant Heriberto Carbajal-Flores.

So then if it’s legal for a illegal immigrant to possess a firearm in the State of Illinois then why do I a legal citizen of the United States and a legal citizen of Illinois need to have a FOID card to possess a firearm and buy ammunition. I think this judge has just opened a huge legal battle in Illinois.

The ruling did no such thing. What a dumb comment.

And all along it was presumed that the Constitution applied to legal US citizens, not whomever blew in through the door.
