"On Carpio-Leon's Second Amendment challenge, we conclude that the scope of the Second Amendment does not extend to provide protection to illegal aliens, because illegal aliens are not law-abiding members of the political community...."

At last!!!

The people who wrote the 14th Amendment were clear about its not applying to foreigners, because they owe allegiance to a foreign government. Perhaps this decision will lead to other federal justices stating that illegal aliens still owe allegiance to their home governments. Which of course they do. This will end the absurd practice of granting citizenship to illegal anchor babies!

We can certainly apply our laws to foreigners. For example if they are caught shop lifting and are convicted in an American court, they can be put into an American jail. But putting them in jail does not transform them into citizens.
