"How, historically, has this country regulated weapon possession
by foreigners? Are we to understand gun ownership as among the private rights
not generally denied aliens, like printing newspapers or tending a farm, or one of
the rights tied to self-government, like voting and jury service, largely limited to
citizens?
.. courts must defer to Congress as it lawfully exercises its
constitutional power to distinguish between citizens and non-citizens, or between
lawful and unlawful aliens, and to ensure safety and order."
--"US v HUITRON-GUIZAR, 11-8051 (10th Cir. 2012)"
