Obama judge's ruling illegal immigrants have gun rights is an attempt to blur line between alien and citizen: Marco Rubio
Senate Intelligence Committee member Marco Rubio, R-Fla., tells 'Hannity' the idea of citizenship is in danger.
After an Obama-appointed Illinois federal judge ruled the Second Amendment covers the gun rights of a particular illegal immigrant, Senate Intelligence Committee member Marco Rubio, R-Fla., called it the latest development on the left that intends to muddle the difference between a citizen and noncitizen.
Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman ruled a federal ban on illegal immigrants owning firearms unconstitutional specifically in the case of Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, who had previously been caught with a weapon in Chicago. Johnson Coleman moved to dismiss charges against Carbajal-Flores in the case.
Johnson Coleman wrote there is no "historical tradition of firearm regulation" that precludes a noncitizen who has not been convicted of a violent crime from constitutional gun ownership, while finding the federal ban "facially constitutional."
