On a second note, I do agree that we enjoy a LOT of freedom here in America. Freedom some people just do not know how to appreciate - it is sad. I always encourage American to go outside to see that the world does not end at the American border - good or bad, and I always encourage foreigners to come to America (if America let them in) and see what kind of life we enjoy here and maybe they can learn a thing or two to change their countries.

We used to be a great nation of immigration, but now it's a nation of limitation.

I think I am too stupid to comprehend how anybody can actually believe this crap.

You need to study some history before making this statement here.

This is CHL discussion. I would rather not continue on this subject. On the other hand, I would be more than happy to list out all the "rescues" America has done from Indian war to the OIL (sorry, OIF) war.

I myself want to become a citizen because when I do, I can actually do something and hopefully make a difference. It's the stupid law that prevents me from becoming a citizen very fast. On the other hand, I can fully understand why some immigrants don't want to become American citizen.

My statement here is likely to offend some American; however i think we all need to go beyond our little domain and see things in a large perspective with an open mind.

I do not know your education or background. If you often travel to foreign countries (Alabama doesn't count), you would know that American is often among the least favorite people. In the country I am from, America is listed as the last one in favor in almost any poll. Mostly it has nothing to do with each individual American rather "American" as a country, specifically its foreign policy. It is seen as an imperialist, a buddy, and you pick a word. I am sure you have seen this in movies like "Rash Hour III".

Yes, you can. I have been holding CHL for years now. I am not a American citizen and I have green card.

One thing, don't expect that every gun shop will waive background check when buying firearm just because you have CHL. Be prepared to have all the documents and encounter waiting period.

It's interesting that even illegal immigrants can buy firearms by claiming that they are American citizens - there's no verification of any document/ID for citizenship. We law bidding citizens have to go through all these troubles.
