HUH? If a person has a green card, that means they ARE from another country. If they are legally here, they are allowed to buy guns. This person was mentally ill. What are trying to say, only US citizens who are psychos should be allowed to buy guns?

What we need and what we want are two different things. Guns are allowed by our form of constitution, therefore commerce is the predominant form of congress here. We as a young nation, are learning, the hard way, what freedom means! I personally believe that there is such a thing as too much freedom. If there is such a thing, then we are a dependent people of the media to tell us what to feel & think! I hope we don't go down that road...

I am an American residing (with the equivalent of a green card) in a foreign country. It is illegal for me to purchase, own or have any gun in my possession - although I may go to a shooting range and make use of one of the range's weapons. I feel that's adequate and I can see no need for any non-citizen, even though a green card holder, to possess firearms in America. It's also very difficult for me to imagine the need for the average citizen in America to carry firearms - unless we intend that our country devolve into something like Iraq or Somalia.

You can't have it both ways...legal residents with green cards pay taxes and can even be drafted. As such they should not be deprived of the right to protect themselves.

no, there is no way to do a full background check on an immigrant. For all we know they could be a serial killer from another country.
