You nailed it. Anyone in illegally gets cellophaned and catapulted south. And it's beyond the scope of government to find out what's in anyone's pocket or declare what's allowed in their pocket.
There's no contradiction between these statements.
Absolutely not. If they are found to be in possession of narcotics or any other illegal contraband, charge them. If they are a prohibited person from owning a firearm, by either being a convicted/deported felon, being an admitted addict, being under a current restraining order etc or the firearm is stolen, unregistered, etc “ghost gun” etc charge them.
18 U.S.C. 922(g) is the federal law that prohibits anyone ever convicted of any felony to ever possess any firearm either inside or outside of his home. The federal punishment for firearm possession by a felon is up to 10 years in prison.
Being an illegal immigrant means exactly what it says. Illegal. They are breaking a major immigration law. They are felons by that very act. If US Citizens who happen to be felons cannot own weapons legally, why can illegal immigrants? Apply the law equally here. And spare me the they have not been convicted crap. There are millions of illegal immigrants and there is not enough time to convict them all personally. They should universally be marked as felons the moment they cannot provide suitable immigration documents. That's it. And yes, deport them.
I’m not going to spare you the convicted crap. That’s a cornerstone of our legal system. Committing a felony is not the same thing as being convicted of a felony. There is no universal “marking” as a felon. We can’t just make shit up as we go.
I also don’t believe that being convicted of a felony of every case should bar you from gun ownership. Violent sure, moral turpitude, sure.
Should a 45 year old who was convicted of felony drug possession when he was 18 be barred for life? Rob someone, fucked for life, all good with that.
A lot of the “so called” 2nd amendment community really likes to pick and choose.
Tons of getbiggers routinely engage in narcotics activity but think that felony doesn’t count, they don’t feel that’s a real crime so no biggie.
