You can get a short term import permit no pal needed. But commenter above is off their rocker we don’t issue guns we issue licences to those who meet all criteria and pass testing.
In this particular case, and many like it on social media in recent years, the non-citizens are not following the firearm laws. Add to that, that our courts will give leniency to them because of their immigration status, they should at the very least have to wait until they are citizens IMO. If we can’t enforce the laws because of their immigration status, I think we should remove the privilege.
Non-citizens don't follow traffic laws all the time too. You don't punish an entire group for the actions of one.
Everyone is equal under the law so the solution isn't restricting firearms licenses from non-citizens but instead just punishing those who break the laws/regulations regarding firearm usage and ownership with the same level of strictness that citizens do.
Agreed. How do you make the courts actually follow-through on that though? It’s the right answer but in reality the lawyers will literally argue that if they get punished it will hurt their immigration status, and this has proven to be a successful argument for leniency in court.
I don't have an answer. It's hard enough to get the goverment to do something it wants to do nevermind something it has no care to do so I have no idea how to get them to start enforcing laws properly, regardless of immigration status, if that's even possible at all.
But I know 2 wrongs don't make a right.
Plus if the goverment is so reluctant to properly enforce firearm laws on immigrants because it might hurt their status and appear discrimatory then they're DEFINITELY not gonna make a rule restricting firearm licenses to citizens.

This kind of behavior is going to lose us all of our guns before too long.
