Anti-Gun States Want to Disarm Citizens While Arming Non-Citizens

Summary

This article criticizes 'anti-gun states' for simultaneously restricting law-abiding citizens' Second Amendment rights through measures like magazine and 'assault weapon' bans, while also moving to allow non-citizens with federal work authorization to serve as police officers with firearms and arrest powers. It cites Illinois and New Mexico, which enacted a similar change in 2025, as examples of this contradictory policy.
