I agree with much of what Joy says:
[Non U.S. Citizens do not and should not have the same rights as a citizen, here legally or not. 2nd amendment right are for U.S. citizens, not for Italians visiting from Italy. They can't vote either, nor should they be able to.]
I do believe this will be an interesting issue in the court system. It is not a cut and dry issue.
But this is an attempt at gun control, no doubt about it.
Yakima is two cities: West from downtown is basically white and they have nice homes and nice yards, East from downtown is mostly Hispanic and is fairly run down; 80 - 90% of the crime happens in that area of Yakima. Yakima is approximately 50% Hispanic and 50% White. It's a strange city. Beauty and the Beast meet in Yakima. Yakima always leads the state in homicides both percentage and actual count. Most homicides are Hispanic and gang related which means drugs. Most homicides are Hispanic to Hispanic. So the white community can go to there safe haven and not have to deal with the realities around them.
Very Interesting City.
