It disregards the states law of him possessing the handgun but im sure those charges will be coming.
So this guy fires his gun at moving cars and the judge dismisses gun charges citing he has a 2nd amendment right to carry it?
He's allowed to shoot into public and not get charged though?
How is a non citizen allowed a citizens unalienable rights?
Sooooo many questions about this. It almost seems like the judge is trying to make a precedent that shouldn't be one.
The language in the 2A doesn’t make it exclusive to citizens. I like seeing the right wing heads explode at the outcome of mainstreaming extremist beliefs in the form of scotus’s Bruen and Heller rulings.
Oh, how the tables have turned. The NRA supported opposition to firearms restrictions on individuals on terrorist watch lists. Maybe ask them?
It's taking away from the fact that the person broke laws to obtain that weapon. If the constitution is interpreted that all people can have gun ownership then it is a different animal that he most likely obtained it illegally and shot at moving cars which is recklessness.
His ownership of the gun is not what is bothering, it's the fact that the charges were dropped and what he did is not being highlighted.
You want to have tougher gun laws? Hw about upholding the ones we do have in place now. This isn't it.

What laws did he break to obtain the weapon? What laws did the seller or possessor of the weapon break when they provided it to him, with or without a fee. Just another “responsible” gun owner in a long line of them I suppose.
What is your source for the “shot at moving cars?” I won’t click on Epoch Times so if it’s in there, my apologies.
Nothing mentioned about “shooting into cars” in this article and was charged with “illegal immigrant in possession of a firearm.” 2A doesn’t mention “citizens.”
Again, what crime was committed and where did you come up with, “firing into cars?”
A liberal Illinois federal judge has ruled that an illegal immigrant was wrongly banned from possessing a firearm.
US District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman, an Obama appointee, ruled earlier this month that an illegal migrant residing in the US had his 2nd Amendment rights violated when he was charged for possession of a weapon.
Heriberto Carbajal-Flores was charged by prosecutors under US Code 18 § 922, which prohibits illegal immigrants from carrying guns or ammunition.
In her ruling, the judge with a liberal track record wrote: 'The noncitizen possession statute, 18 USC § 922(g)(5), violates the Second Amendment as applied to Carbajal-Flores.
'Thus, the court grants Carbajal-Flores’ motion to dismiss.'
Carbajal-Flores' defense team posed the argument that the government could not show that 18 USC § 922(g)(5) was 'part of the historical tradition that delimits the outer bounds of the right to keep and bear arms.'
In 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that government prosecutors must be able to show that regulations are 'consistent with this nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.'
The defense's argument was enough to persuade Coleman the charges should be dismissed.
'Lifetime disarmament of an individual based on alienage or nationality alone does not have roots in the history and tradition of the United States,' said attorneys for Carbajal-Flores.
Coleman acknowledges, in her ruling, that Carbajal-Flores is a 'noncitizen,' though she shied away from any harsher language.
'The court notes, however, that Carbajal-Flores has never been convicted of a felony, a violent crime, or a crime involving the use of a weapon,' she wrote.
'Even in the present case, Carbajal-Flores contends that he received and used the handgun solely for self-protection and protection of property during a time of documented civil unrest in the Spring of 2020,' she added, likely referring to the riots that swept the country in the wake of the killing of George Floyd.
The ruling has inspired a plethora of responses across the legal community, including some Second Amendment absolutists who say 'the people' referred to by the Framers in the amendment include those in the country illegally.
It could also be cited in other states as they try to make the same argument, allowing more illegal migrants the right to carry guns.

"Court documents show Carbajal-Flores fired his handgun at moving vehicles when he believed looters were approaching his neighborhood after police warned of potential threats. He had no prior criminal record."
This was in one of the other articles. I read three of them and this was the only one that included this.
So local laws in Illinois require you to have an FOID card to purchase a gun. I'll guess he didn't have one. So there is a law he did break.
I can't find a mention of if the gun was stolen or how it was purchased only he obtained it. That should be a focal point.
Besides being contrarian, are you ok with the courts ruling?

Yes, I’m fine with tossing of the charge as 2A doesn’t make mention of “citizen.” Sounds to me like he “stood his ground.” Isn’t that something that the organization you support, the NRA, believes in?
If he violated Illinois law as it relates to FOID, wouldn’t that be up to the DA’s office to charge? Judges preside and rule over what is brought before them. Regardless, the judge is shoving it up SCOTUS’ ass by ruling how she did. At least this guy has standing, unlike previous cases SCOTUS has heard and used to implement a political agenda. That’s what some of us are pointing out, the hypocrisy and the “careful what you wish for.”
Whats the source of your bolded?
I love watching heads explode over “the other.” If he weren’t “the other” the NRA would have defended him and made him out to be a hero of the gun rights crowd. But you know, “the other.” I also don’t recall your being bothered by previous citations of discharges of firearms in public resulting in death. Why does this one appear to concern you?

Yes and it is illegal to bring them over state lines back into Illinois. You still need that FOID card to do that. So the gun is brought into the state illegally. Purchased in another state perhaps legally but reentering with it as a resident is illegal. Class 4 felony. It's on their website.

No one is exploding on here. I can't believe that he wasn't charged with something else. They went for federal charges is all I can guess they were doing? All the articles I'm reading have half ass information. There has to be more to the story. I can't find where the guy was picked up for in the first place.
The bolded is from NewsNation. I don't think it's credible considering it's the only one that had that so that can be thrown out of the convo.
So I don't have a problem with the 2A rights being brought into this at all. What it will set a precedent for is anyone that comes in illegally and doesn't chose asylum will be open for all benefits the country gives.
Why can't they apply for government assistance? Vote? This case could set a precedent that can avalanche. Using it can create loopholes in a whole bunch of other areas. That concerns me, should concern everybody.
So something that always bothers me is when someone doesn't follow the law with firearms.

Playing Devil's advocate, but living in California until I was 30, I was shocked at some of the gun laws other states had (or lack of) when I moved. While IL might require something like that, many states don't require anything for a private party sale. I really had no idea until I moved out of California. I'm willing to bet that most likely it was probably an illegal deal, but my understanding now is many states don't require any paperwork for private sales, so he could just claim he went somewhere out of state to purchase it. Maybe IL has a law where you can't bring in an unregistered firearm? I don't know.
But back to the original point where this was a slap in the face to gun owners because now we're faced with either tightening up gun laws which supposedly we don't want or allowing illegal immigrants to carry but we're all supposedly racist too so now we don't know what to do. That misses the mark. Most gun owners are for reasonable measures and checks. California had a lot of redundancy and needless fees and expenses that were really just a joke, and some states have gone in the other direction. With today's technology, you could easily have a universal check or card that is required for all sales and is an instant background check. You want to buy a gun? Go to any FFL dealer, get your firearms card, pay the one time fee, and any time you buy a gun the seller can run your card into the system or website and confirm that you are still eligible to own a gun. That seems pretty easy to me and I don't know why that isn't a thing yet. Some states have requirements that an illegal immigrant can not fulfill, but citizenship or immigration status itself is not a direct requirement. Said firearms card would probably fall under that.

Its not a slap in the face to gun owners though. Read what I said about above in this setting precedent. It could be a slap in the face for all civil liberties we have as citizens. That is my take on it.
How the constitution and some parts are for the people and for citizens is going to be up for debate. That is the next round of court battles.
Now this would have to go up through the supreme court though. It's not there yet but it might.
Funny you mention Cali. When I traveled for work and was in PA I wanted to buy a gun and showed them my drivers license and they said "nope. You can't buy anything."
I knew states would limit abortions access. I knew this when Trump got elected, but I’m not seeing the Roe decision carry over into areas that don’t gave anything to do with abortion.

Well it does though. The supreme court has been looking at cases differently now. Thomas talked about looking into other cases. The state gun laws got decimated from their rulings. Gerrymandering. I see the courts doing all sorts of things different now.

They’ll definitely be making different rulings, but they’ll almost always align with what the right wing wants. Rulings on voting will support making voting more difficult, rulings on guns will be about making it easier to get them, ruling on discrimination will make it easier to do that, and ruling on education will be about dismantling it in the public sphere. The recent ruling on guns for illegals just highlights the flaw in the right wing logic specific to guns.

Some states have requirements that an illegal immigrant can not fulfill, but citizenship or immigration status itself is not a direct requirement. Said firearms card would probably fall under that.
Its not a slap in the face to gun owners though. Read what I said about above in this setting precedent. It could be a slap in the face for all civil liberties we have as citizens. That is my take on it.
How the constitution and some parts are for the people and for citizens is going to be up for debate. That is the next round of court battles.
Now this would have to go up through the supreme court though. It's not there yet but it might.
Funny you mention Cali. When I traveled for work and was in PA I wanted to buy a gun and showed them my drivers license and they said "nope. You can't buy anything."
I wasn't referencing your comment or articles when I was referring to it as being a slap. But other posts here have come across that way to me, as like a catch 22 to gun owners, do we want more gun freedoms or do we want to restrict illegal immigrants? When that really isn't the case at all.
Did you have a CA license and try to buy in PA? I did something similar, I think it was Arizona or Nevada, can't remember. Went to a gun store, they wouldn't sell me anything, it wasn't worth the liability to them to deal with California. Which I was fine with, I was just shopping at a pawn shop and something caught my eye.

I take back everything I ever said about conservatives not having any imagination. Their imaginations are truly marvelous.

So this guy fires his gun at moving cars and the judge dismisses gun charges citing he has a 2nd amendment right to carry it?
He's allowed to shoot into public and not get charged though?
How is a non citizen allowed a citizens unalienable rights?
Sooooo many questions about this. It almost seems like the judge is trying to make a precedent that shouldn't be one.

His ownership of the gun is not what is bothering, it's the fact that the charges were dropped and what he did is not being highlighted.
You want to have tougher gun laws? Hw about upholding the ones we do have in place now. This isn't it.
What is your source for the “shot at moving cars?” I won’t click on Epoch Times so if it’s in there, my apologies.

Again, what crime was committed and where did you come up with, “firing into cars?”
A liberal Illinois federal judge has ruled that an illegal immigrant was wrongly banned from possessing a firearm.
US District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman, an Obama appointee, ruled earlier this month that an illegal migrant residing in the US had his 2nd Amendment rights violated when he was charged for possession of a weapon.
Heriberto Carbajal-Flores was charged by prosecutors under US Code 18 § 922, which prohibits illegal immigrants from carrying guns or ammunition.
In her ruling, the judge with a liberal track record wrote: 'The noncitizen possession statute, 18 USC § 922(g)(5), violates the Second Amendment as applied to Carbajal-Flores.
'Thus, the court grants Carbajal-Flores’ motion to dismiss.'
Carbajal-Flores' defense team posed the argument that the government could not show that 18 USC § 922(g)(5) was 'part of the historical tradition that delimits the outer bounds of the right to keep and bear arms.'
In 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that government prosecutors must be able to show that regulations are 'consistent with this nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.'
The defense's argument was enough to persuade Coleman the charges should be dismissed.
'Lifetime disarmament of an individual based on alienage or nationality alone does not have roots in the history and tradition of the United States,' said attorneys for Carbajal-Flores.
Coleman acknowledges, in her ruling, that Carbajal-Flores is a 'noncitizen,' though she shied away from any harsher language.
'The court notes, however, that Carbajal-Flores has never been convicted of a felony, a violent crime, or a crime involving the use of a weapon,' she wrote.
'Even in the present case, Carbajal-Flores contends that he received and used the handgun solely for self-protection and protection of property during a time of documented civil unrest in the Spring of 2020,' she added, likely referring to the riots that swept the country in the wake of the killing of George Floyd.
The ruling has inspired a plethora of responses across the legal community, including some Second Amendment absolutists who say 'the people' referred to by the Framers in the amendment include those in the country illegally.
It could also be cited in other states as they try to make the same argument, allowing more illegal migrants the right to carry guns.

This was in one of the other articles. I read three of them and this was the only one that included this.
So local laws in Illinois require you to have an FOID card to purchase a gun. I'll guess he didn't have one. So there is a law he did break.
I can't find a mention of if the gun was stolen or how it was purchased only he obtained it. That should be a focal point.
Besides being contrarian, are you ok with the courts ruling?
hop skip and a jump down to Gary by train or on over to Iowa by car, the same motherfucking way guns are obtained by "citizens"

to PURCHASE. No law against crossing state lines to purchase a weapon. happens every fucking day in places with stricter gun laws. just where do you think the weapons in South Chicago come from?

If he violated Illinois law as it relates to FOID, wouldn’t that be up to the DA’s office to charge? Judges preside and rule over what is brought before them. Regardless, the judge is shoving it up SCOTUS’ ass by ruling how she did. At least this guy has standing, unlike previous cases SCOTUS has heard and used to implement a political agenda. That’s what some of us are pointing out, the hypocrisy and the “careful what you wish for.”
Whats the source of your bolded?
I love watching heads explode over “the other.” If he weren’t “the other” the NRA would have defended him and made him out to be a hero of the gun rights crowd. But you know, “the other.” I also don’t recall your being bothered by previous citations of discharges of firearms in public resulting in death. Why does this one appear to concern you?
Libtardaplorable©. And proud of it.

The bolded is from NewsNation. I don't think it's credible considering it's the only one that had that so that can be thrown out of the convo.
So I don't have a problem with the 2A rights being brought into this at all. What it will set a precedent for is anyone that comes in illegally and doesn't chose asylum will be open for all benefits the country gives.
Why can't they apply for government assistance? Vote? This case could set a precedent that can avalanche. Using it can create loopholes in a whole bunch of other areas. That concerns me, should concern everybody.
So something that always bothers me is when someone doesn't follow the law with firearms.
Please site where I wasn't bothered about whatever incident you think it was?
But back to the original point where this was a slap in the face to gun owners because now we're faced with either tightening up gun laws which supposedly we don't want or allowing illegal immigrants to carry but we're all supposedly racist too so now we don't know what to do.
That misses the mark. Most gun owners are for reasonable measures and checks. California had a lot of redundancy and needless fees and expenses that were really just a joke, and some states have gone in the other direction. With today's technology, you could easily have a universal check or card that is required for all sales and is an instant background check. You want to buy a gun? Go to any FFL dealer, get your firearms card, pay the one time fee, and any time you buy a gun the seller can run your card into the system or website and confirm that you are still eligible to own a gun. That seems pretty easy to me and I don't know why that isn't a thing yet. Some states have requirements that an illegal immigrant can not fulfill, but citizenship or immigration status itself is not a direct requirement. Said firearms card would probably fall under that.
How the constitution and some parts are for the people and for citizens is going to be up for debate. That is the next round of court battles.
Now this would have to go up through the supreme court though. It's not there yet but it might.
Funny you mention Cali. When I traveled for work and was in PA I wanted to buy a gun and showed them my drivers license and they said "nope. You can't buy anything."
Did you have a CA license and try to buy in PA?
I did something similar, I think it was Arizona or Nevada, can't remember. Went to a gun store, they wouldn't sell me anything, it wasn't worth the liability to them to deal with California. Which I was fine with, I was just shopping at a pawn shop and something caught my eye.
