    Interesting legal question.

    I'm leaning toward the Judge being technically correct and the part of Title 18 dealing with illegals obtaining weapons may be unconstitutional, but in this case, the person in question wasn't qualified to purchase a weapon because he lied on his background check, which specifically asks if he is a US citizen or legal immigrant. So he lied on the form or he would never have been sold the gun in the first place. So the end of this is that the guy was guilty of a felony and should be charged, tried, sentenced, and then deported after serving his sentence.

    The ruling was that any non citizen can have a gun now. Which sets up now a bigger circle of members for towns to gather a militia for whatever law they want to put in place.
    Title 18 of U.S. Criminal Code, which legally disallows undocumented individuals to possess firearms and ammunition "or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce."

    You're not making sense. The judge claimed the law you are citing was unconstitutional, and ruled
    in favor of allowing the undoc immigrant to own a gun, within lawful parameters, so if the judge hated guns, that's hardly the ruling he would have given.

    However,

    Apparently you didn't read the OP.

    Please do that before you post.

    Nah it makes total sense.

    Illegal aliens are high on the victim pyramid so they have to let them do whatever they want.

    Seems to me that this judge is a rightie, declaring taht the law is unconstitutional.

    The 14th amendment does say rights apply to any persons not just citizens.

    I made the post to get the gun people's opinion of the ruling. I didn't realize a judge other than a Supreme Court judge had the authority to rule on the constitutionality of a law. Now I know.

    So excuuuuuse me, oh merciless exalted dispenser of legal wisdom. .

    I think the law is more in a non-citizen carrying around a gun is now legal. They don't necessarily have to have bought it. But if a city gives it to them to be as a police force then another group can't say anything about it.
    U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Coleman of the Northern District of Illinois referenced lower court rulings in dismissing firearm possession charges against Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, who was illegally or unlawfully in the United States when he possessed a handgun in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago on June 1, 2020.

    Your image does not depict "worship" or anything remotely close. It looks like they got firearms for Christmas and know how to handle them safely. Notice how no one has their finger on the trigger and that all are pointed in a safe direction?

    I do understand that those who don't know what they are looking at may see something else. Thats not the images fault.

    I don't use AI to make my arguments for me. Why think for ones self when it can be done for you!

    It’s certainly obvious who here wants this country destroyed. Same ol story. Let illegals own guns, vote, get drivers licenses, free healthcare, free education, even free rent and welfare. Why wouldn’t every poor soul flock here? So much free ****. So doomed.

    Not only is it dehumanizing, it makes the people who reduce Trumpeteers to a political slogan look stupid...

    I agree, but that isn't my point. I'm wondering if the very blue state of Illinois will pursue charges on an illegal alien for not possessing a FOID card.

    I'd depend on the state, some don't require BGC for a private sale, some do.. But only a criminal or dummy would sell a firearm "registered to them" to a stranger..

    There's no such thing as undocumented immigrants. Immigrants are documented there are illegal aliens.

    Yeah I'd never sell a gun to someone I didn't know VERY well without going through an FFL, even though I don't need to.

    You wrote:

    It's already unlawful for illegals to own firearms.

    You'd think people that hate guns would at least know what they're talking about.


    Sorry, my response was that your comment did make sense, per the ruling of the Judge.

    That led me to believe you didn't read the OP.

    Your comment, above, confirms that point.

    Please understand that a judge doesn't base a ruling on weasel words, cynical vagueness, the kind that is in your comment, they base on the law and the constitutionality of a law.

    So, if you can explain how the judges rulings was not in accordance with the constitution, then make that argument. But, weasel words of cynicism do not cut it.
