IMO, non-citizens do not have Constitutional Rights.
Teaching them to shoot and properly handle firearms, no problem, but they do not have the Right To Keep and Bear Arms, IMO.
In fact, it is probably illegal for them to purchase a firearm. If it is illegal for my Nevada resident son to purchase a gun in Montana, how can a legal or illegal resident alien qualify?

By immigrant you mean illegal alien?

I am a legal immigrant and I support the 2nd. As per GCA, illegal aliens don't have the right to keep and bear arms. However, I disagree.

I can't imagine being such a jackass to believe that the constitution should only apply to citizens.

Legal immigrants have every right citizens have except for voting and running for offices.

Of course in some sanctuary cities, illegal aliens can vote.

Note my posted link..it is legal for them to own and bear arms in most States..subject to a 90 day residency requirement.

As to your assertion that non-citizens do not/should not have constitutional rights..no fair trial/ no freedom of speech, no protections of any sort?

Of course, an illegal alien is not allowed to purchase or bear arms..but a refugee is a legal resident..and has the right to both purchase and bear arms..in fact, in my State, Idaho, they can open carry and carry concealed without a permit..I called the Sheriff and checked.

The founding fathers clearly stated that the constitution in an enumeration of God given rights. God created everything and everyone. Done.

A legal immigrant has the right to keep and bear arms. That's plain and simple.

In fact, everyone who is legally here has that right according to the present law.
