Re: Interesting Test Case on 2A Rights
Hmmm.
This one's a real panty-twister for the libs. Do we 'acknowledge' his 2A rights, as we have with other constitutional rights for non-citizens? Do we say his illegal entry 'crime' precludes them, admitting he's a criminal for being here illegally? What's a lefty to do?
Mind you, the left has no problem with hypocrisy, so no doubt they'll trample his 'rights' on this one.
IMHO, despite the rights being creator-given and unalienable, I have no problem with saying we only -support & defend- those rights for our citizens. That applies to the 1st, 2nd, 4th and all other Bill of Rights amendments.DGAF

Re: Interesting Test Case on 2A Rights
Illegals have only limited rights under the Constitution. They have a right to counsel and they cannot be treated with cruel and unusual punishment otherwise the US Constitution only applies to US citizens.

Re: Interesting Test Case on 2A Rights
Heh. So much for waiting for the perfect "winnable" test case. Now the left has provided the perfect sacrificial lamb to lose the argument for everyone. A right is a right for everyone. I hope all all the lawyers that were waiting for a more winnable case dive into this one, balls to the wall.

Re: Interesting Test Case on 2A Rights
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." - The Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, emphasis mine.
Are all men created equal? If we deny that they are due to accident of birth, we deny that they have the Rights of freedom as granted by God and enumerated in the Bill of Rights as written by the same man who penned the Declaration of Independence and we trample on the same beliefs for which our forefathers pledged their lives. All people (not some, not "this group and not that one") have a right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness amongst other rights not enumerated in the Declaration. If they cannot defend themselves, how can they secure their right to Life? If they cannot assemble or speak or practice their religion, how can they be said to have Liberty? If they cannot remain secure in their persons and their homes, how can they pursue Happiness? Should the illegal immigrant have suffrage? No, as the illegal immigrant is not a citizen and suffrage is specified as a right of citizens of the United States. Should illegal immigrants be held accountable for breaking the law? Yes, as would any other who is a accused as a criminal, but they have a right to a speedy and public trial before a jury of their peers, with no appended double jeopardy or excessive bail, fine, or cruel and unusual punishment.

Re: Interesting Test Case on 2A Rights
Ok yeah etc.! Our countrymen created the greatest prosperous nation in the world, but that does NOT mean we have NO CHOICE but MUST let every poor low skill, no skill people in the world to ANNIHILATE what we suffered and died for? A refugee is NOT A REFUGEE when they come to us thru ANOTHER COUNTRY. They already got what they wanted, i.e. safe from harm. The U.S.A. along with other nations can help them with food, clothing etc. at a country of their culture, NOT HERE!
(caps are for dramatic effect).
How would you like it, if you're forced to bring them INTO YOUR HOUSE to feed, cloth, educate based on the, "..they have unalienable rights, endowed by God etc. etc.? I bet you would shut the door.

Re: Interesting Test Case on 2A Rights
It is an interesting case, but knowing New York, they'll go anti 2A. This guy will get 3 years and come out with a green card.
