Whatever one thinks of illegal immigration, I see no Constitutional authority of the feds to limit their gun rights. And I see citizens rights as suspect in general – individuals have natural rights, and governments shouldn't abrogate them. (As for "civil rights" like voting and equal assess to state "services," I do not tend toward affording them to everyone.)

I am thus disheartened by the recent federal decision that illegals have no right to bear arms, implying the feds have a right to control guns in this area, despite no such enumerated power. It is just another decision that further upholds the problematic conflation of civil and natural rights, and further tramples on the original limits on federal power.
