Illegal immigrants can possess guns under Second Amendment, federal judge rules. CHICAGO (TND) — A U.S. District Court judge ruled earlier this month that completely prohibiting illegal immigrants from possessing firearms is a violation of the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment comprises just a single sentence that allows for considerable interpretation. Enacted in 1789 alongside nine other amendments collectively known as the Bill of Rights, it prohibits the government from infringing upon a "well-regulated Militia."
A “well-regulated” militia simply meant that the processes for activating, training, and deploying the militia in official service should be efficient and orderly, and that the militia itself should be capable of competently executing battlefield operations.
Abundant historical evidence indicates that the Second Amendment was meant to leave citizens with the ability to defend themselves against unlawful violence. Such threats might come from usurpers of governmental power, but they might also come from criminals whom the government is unwilling or unable to control.
“The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.”
Legal legitimacy Most militia organizations envisage themselves as legally legitimate organizations, despite the fact that all 50 states prohibit private paramilitary activity.
At 624–25 (quoting United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174, 179 (1939)) (“We therefore read Miller to say only that the Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, such as short-barreled shotguns.”); see also Caetano v.
In a landmark Supreme Court decision in 2008, District of Columbia v. Heller asserted that the Second Amendment protected the right of all individual citizens to keep and bear their own weapons to defend themselves, instead of only being for a state-run militia. Two years later, the Supreme Court ruled in McDonald v.
Age Limitations: The right to bear arms is limited to individuals who are at least 18 years of age for long guns and 21 years of age for handguns. Federal law prohibits the sale of firearms to individuals under these age limits, and many states have enacted similar restrictions.
