    Don't forget "MAGA" - a term that many people on the Left use to dehumanize their political opponents. You see, they're not human beings, they're a political slogan.

    Cities can't set up Sharia Law if the enforcers can't carry weapons.

    The 14th Amendment says...

    "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;"

    ...which pretty much means that state gun control laws are unconstitutional.

    It says after that, that...

    "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;"

    ...if Congress passes a law that prohibits illegal aliens from owning, or possessing firearms, then that's "due process".

    It doesn't say "constitutional rights apply to any person".

    I doubt this will stand as it goes up the chain. I believe this just some kind of gambit played by the judge, in order to trip up pro-gun arguments down the line.

    You weren't the one being asked. But thank you for helping us correct his mistake.

    There's no "if", really. He either possessed an FOID card, or he didn't. Either way, he violated state law, as the law is currently written.

    Then I suggest you inform the judges.

    It appears as though you are trying to cast those that value their rights in a negative light. Referring to those you wish to discuss the topic with as "gun worshippers" reveals unwillingness to understand ones opinions before they even post them. Its also a logical fallacy.

    Before I post my opinion, I want to ask why knowing the background of the gun buyer is no longer important? After all, there is no way to check ones background when one is undocumented.

    People who can pass a 4473 form, which illegal aliens cannot.

    How are the local CHAZ/CHOP supposed to set up African warlords to enforce order?

    Do you favor the law outlawing guns for undocs who do not have any record of crime, who are working and who are paying taxes (the deportation issue being beside the point, just talking 'principles' here) or do you agree with the Judge's ruling, that the law that the undoc was cited for was unconstitutional?

    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.

    Yes, and?

    Is there supposed to be some sorta gotcha here? They have a 1st and 4th amendment right as well, is that going to mystify you?
    The law would be unconstitutional as a violation of the right to keep and bear arms.

    Its definitely a test case.

    That set of laws won't pass Bruen.

    FOID cards are unconstitutional, see Bruen and try to pass the test there to check it. You won't be able to find such a thing during the founding era.

    Not sure how an undocumented person would meet these requirements

    Would they pass the background check if waiting on a trial to see if they are legally eligible to live here?

    Are permanent legal immigrants American citizens?

    I don't think more guns is a good thing and I differ from republicans when it comes to the role of government and gun control. I don't know the ins and outs of what type of immigrant can possess weapons here.

    The form doesn't make it illegal, the law does.
