The part that I struggle with more is that many States prohibit citizens from owning guns. In IL, you have to have a FOID to purchase one. How then can an illegal immigrant in Texas, who would never be granted a FOID in IL, be allowed to have a gun under Federal rights. I do understand that there can be differences between the States but this is under 2nd Amendment.

It is not possible for someone to live legally in this country if they entered it illegally. They are breaking a lot of other laws from driving and auto insurance to taxation, anyone one of which could be used against a citizen to keep them from purchasing a gun in at least some States. I strongly believe in the 2nd Amendment and the natural right to self-defense so I'm not against allowing those here illegally to have guns - in principal. But if they can have them without jumping through all of the hoops that citizens do, how can that be equal protection under the Constitution?

It is amazing how even these sorts of situations morph.
