“Black and Brown people need to get a gun legally. Go get your permit, go get your license, and learn how to use it,” Lemon said. “Because if ICE shows up at your door, you should be able to protect yourself and your family.”

Either you're a gun rights purist or not. Why don't you write your congressman and ask them to make a law that you must be a citizen to buy/own a gun and see how that goes :)

You really should think before you post stuff, trumptard!
 
He's half-witted. Illegals can obtain firearms, but not legally.

Lemon's statement conflates advice for U.S. citizens and legal residents (who can legally arm themselves) with undocumented immigrants (who generally cannot).

Here's a breakdown based on current law:
  • Prohibition: Under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(A), it is a federal felony (punishable by up to 10 years in prison) for any "alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States" to possess, ship, transport, or receive a firearm or ammunition that has moved in interstate or foreign commerce. This applies to the vast majority of firearms available in the U.S., as most are produced or sold across state lines.
    • This law, part of the Gun Control Act of 1968, explicitly targets undocumented immigrants regardless of criminal history or intent (e.g., self-defense).
    • The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) enforces this strictly, and background checks via the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) flag undocumented status if detected.
  • No Exceptions for Self-Defense: Federal law does not carve out allowances for possessing guns to "defend against ICE" or any other threat. Using a firearm against federal agents (even in claimed self-defense) would escalate to additional charges like assault on a federal officer (18 U.S.C. § 111), potentially leading to life imprisonment if injury occurs.
  • Gun Permits: Concealed carry permits or other licenses require proof of lawful presence in the U.S. (e.g., via green card or visa). Undocumented immigrants cannot legally obtain them federally or in most states, as applications involve ATF Form 4473, which asks about immigration status.
State Laws
  • Most states align with federal prohibitions (e.g., California, Texas, Florida ban undocumented possession outright).
  • A few states like New York or Illinois have faced challenges, but none broadly permit undocumented ownership.
Second Amendment Challenges
  • General Rule Upheld: Post-New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass'n v. Bruen (2022), which requires gun laws to align with historical traditions, most federal appeals courts (e.g., 5th, 11th Circuits in 2024 rulings) have upheld § 922(g)(5) as constitutional for undocumented immigrants. They argue such individuals are not part of "the people" protected by the Second Amendment, given their lack of lawful ties to the U.S.

  • Federal prohibition: Under federal law, undocumented immigrants are prohibited from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing firearms or ammunition. This means they are not legally allowed to own guns.
  • Felony offense: The Federal Gun Control Act of 1968 makes it a felony for an "illegal alien" to possess a gun, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

So Don how does a Brown illegal get a gun legally so he can shoot at law enforcement?

That would VERY LIKELY get them killed. Pulling a gun on law enforcement officers is often a fatal mistake.

Why would they make a law that is already on the books?

The Federal Gun Control Act of 1968 makes it a felony for anyone in the U.S. unlawfully to possess a firearm.

It is legal for ANYONE to carry a gun. If you take a shot at law enforcement, you will be killed. Don Lemon is simply showing how racist he is.

ANYONE may arm themselves. The right of self defense is inherent.

These are falling apart, and for good reason.

Taking a shot at federal officers WILL get you killed.
