If this was a 21 year old black man who was born here and had a gun without a license he would’ve been sent to prison for like 5 years plus

and, as the judge ruled, he is still protected by the 2nd amendment

his possession of a firearm didn't break the law

you really have a problem with finding issues relevant to the topic on hand

yes the courts are racist

guess what, i hate the courts

It is relevant because it basically sets up the precedent that people who came here illegally have an easier path to gun ownership than citizens.

I’m pro immigration but this isn’t right man

It literally did lol. You need a FOID card to have a gun in Illinois.

Him being there illegally means he wouldn’t be able to get one. Making him illegally possessing that firearm lol.

Why even have qualifications if we aren’t going to enforce them then?

you only need an FOID as a resident

he's a non-resident. thus, no FOID.

this does not set up any precedent for undocumented citizens to have an easier path to gun ownership than citizens

someone from california in illinois needs the same amount of paperwork as this guy to possess a firearm

ok? who gives a s***. you think I care about "america"'s phony borders?

also the supreme court regularly approved the right for non-law-abiding citizens to own firearms, as stated in the hearing

this naturally has now extended to "all non-law-abiding persons," until further legal dispute

doesnt matter if its true or not

im still gonna get a sick f***ing pump

yall are the ones ideologically defending the american politican institution, not me i'm simply saying that y'all also have to respect its practical mechanisms or you look like a hypocrite

I'm sure this will definitely end well

Yes it does lol. If im an Illinois resident I have to go through a process to obtain a fire arm involving paperwork, background checks and money spent out of my pocket. If I don’t and they catch me with a gun I’m going to prison.

An illegal immigrant being able to get a fire arm off the street and being protected by the 2nd amendment is bullshit

cool, so can anyone who's from california

“Non-residents who may legally possess firearms in their home state are exempt from this requirement.”

Remind us what his home state is again?

why? what are you afraid theyre gonna do with it? who cares whether someone is a "citizen" of this fake ass country or not

I don’t think you understand it. They not just giving immigrants a free pass to roll around w/ unregistered guns

atf.gov/firearms/qa/may-aliens-legally-united-states-purchase-firearms

he may legally own a firearm in the US, since he is not on a nonimmigrant visa

Yeah they are. That’s exactly what happened here

“An alien legally in the U.S.”

He’s not here legally

wrong. he still has to follow laws regarding firearm purchase as ordained in illinois.

A democratic judge appointed by the Obama administration ruling this? Weren't Democrats supposed to be for "smarter gun ownership laws"?
