Illegal immigrants have no right to arms

12/16/2011
Dec 16 (Reuters) - Illegal immigrants do not have a right to bear
arms
under the U.S. Constitution, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit, based in Missouri,
rejected an appeal brought by Joaquin Bravo Flores, who was charged
with possessing a firearm. Agreeing with the 5th Circuit, the court
concluded that the protections of the Second Amendment do not extend
to undocumented immigrants.
Executing a search warrant in 2010, police uncovered a semi-automatic
handgun in Bravo Flores' Minneapolis apartment. A grand jury indicted
him for being an alien in possession of a firearm in violation of
federal law. He was sentenced to three years in prison.
