Why are
foreign nationals who have NOT attained or earned citizenship, allowed to buy guns? They have human rights, civil rights, but they are NOT citizens and have no constitutional rights!
What part of foreign national do you people NOT understand?
Write your congressman PLEASE to take away the right of NON citizens to buy and own guns! This is
not gun control, it does not infringe on any
US CITIZENS rights. It's an AMERICAN thing. If I go to Korea I cannot buy a gun. If a Korean comes here and is
NOT a
US Citizen why should he?????????
What part of these words do you NOT understand:
Foreign national

A
foreign national is a person present in a country who does not currently have the right to permanent
residency of that country.
Sir, respectfully, I do take offense to the comments that You are making.
Part of CIVIL RIGHT is to be able to DEFEND ONESELF AND FAMILY
As I am right now in the Process of filling out my N-400 ( Application for U.S Citizenship), currently I am a Permanent Resident of This Great Nation and been since Aug of 2001. Prior to that I was here from Aug of 1998 on a (F1) Student visa.
One of the test questions on the U.S Citizen Question Form is ( #75 )
"Whose rights are guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights ?"
The answer might not be one that YOU want to hear.
It is "All People livinging in the United States".
It doesn't state U.S Citizens ONLY.
It took me 1YEAR after I got married to get MY WORKING Permit and about $1500, and it's going to cost me another $400 to file the N-400. Once I have Past all the ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND CHECK and paid the $$$ it can take ABOUT 8 months til I can get Sworn in as a U.S Citizen
This Great Nation was Built up due to FOREIGN NATIONALS (GREAT BRITAIN, SWEDEN, NORWAY just a FEW to mention )
I bet that if YOU go back in YOUR family tree YOU will FIND that there are PLENTY of FOREIGN NATIONALITY in YOUR back ground.
I could point out MANY individuals that should possibly not EVER be able to have a firearm in their Possession that ARE U.S CITIZENS by BIRTH.
So I have a lesser value in YOUR eyes to Protect my WIFE,CHILDREN and MYSELF cuz I'm not EQUAL to YOU
Some of the BASIC BELIEFS of the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDECE (July 4th 1776) states That ALL men are Equal and have the Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness ( I think actually Thomas Jefferson said part of this too ).
I have a STRONG belief that YOU, Sir, have to go back to the Basics and read what the forefathers meant to be an AMERICAN.
IF and EVER YOU will go thru what a LAWFUL RESIDENT goes thru to become a LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT up to uncluding a U.S CITIZEN YOU better ,Sir, not state such Opionions. However That is YOUR 1st Amendment Right, THE BILL OF RIGHTS, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL I WILL BE ABLE TO SWEAR THE OATH
Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to
the United States of America
[align=justify]
Oath:
[align=justify]"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
