🇺🇸⚖️ The Supreme Court ruled that illegal immigrants can own a gun

In 2020, Heriberto Carbajal-Flores was accused of carrying a firearm. In the third attempt to dismiss, Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman argued "the noncitizen possession statute violates the Second Amendment."

The Supreme Court ruled that illegal immigrants can possess a firearm and prohibiting them from doing so would be unconstitutional.

Although federal law prohibits illegal immigrants from carrying weapons, the court recently ruled that Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, an illegal immigrant, was wrongly prohibited from possessing a gun. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman - appointed by former President Barack Obama - stated that "the non-citizen possession statute, 18 USC § 922(g)(5), violates the Second Amendment."

The lawyers argued that the government could not demonstrate that the federal law prohibiting illegal immigrants from carrying weapons is "part of the historical tradition that delimits the outer bounds of the right to keep and bear arms"

Lifetime disarmament of an individual based on alienage or nationality alone does not have roots in the history and tradition of the United States.
