This country was founded and has prospered because of non-natives. I
guess being a legal alien since he was five doesn't count for much in
your book. Perhaps he should have been deported.


No one is implying that. Legal aliens have many rights in this country.
But should owning/possessing a gun be one of them? I doubt if the
founding
fathers would have bought into that.

I wonder about the ethics of that.
'If' it's considered necessary by so many people in the US to sport a
weapon to protect themselves against their own, How could you justify
an alien NOT being allowed to afford himself the same protection from
people who would often recognise him as a foreigner, possibly a
tourist and fair game?


Find a medium with one hell of a crystal ball and have a seance. Order up
the spirits of the founding fathers and ask 'em.
