Federal Judge Rules Noncitizens Illegally in U.S. Have Second Amendment Rights

A landmark ruling by an Obama-appointed judge in Illinois has sparked a heated debate over the Second Amendment rights of illegal immigrants.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman ruled that a federal law prohibiting illegal immigrants from owning firearms is unconstitutional, dismissing charges against Heriberto Carbajal-Flores.
The decision has divided gun rights activists and prompted discussions on the implications for citizenship and gun laws.
Critics argue the ruling blurs the line between citizens and noncitizens, while supporters see it as a defense of fundamental rights.
The ruling is based on recent Supreme Court decisions emphasizing the historical tradition of firearm regulation.
The decision is expected to be challenged and may ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court.
