Weird:
18 US code Section 922 says otherwise, but lets wait for demise to settle this question once and for all.
(d) It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any
firearm or
ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person—
(1)..
(2)..
(3)..
(4)..
(5) who, being an
alien— (A) is illegally or unlawfully in the
United States; or
(B) except as provided in subsection (y)(2), has been admitted to the
United States under a
nonimmigrant visa (as that term is defined in section 101(a)(26) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (
8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(26)));
Okay so lets see what the legal definition of dispose is, since things have specific legal meanings:
https://www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/dispose
Dispose. “Disposing” or “Disposition” means with respect to any asset (including a Membership Interest or any portion thereof), a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, gift, exchange or other disposition of such asset, whether such disposition be voluntary, involuntary or by operation of Applicable Law.
Tl;Dr if you're an Undoc stay away from guns or you risk your DACA. Republicans will have a field day with this:
"DACA illegal alien caught with gun at local gun range"
but you know what I'm just a software engineer, what do I know about laws...
So lets see what an actual lawyer says:
https://www.damfirm.com/gun-laws-immigrants/
"The Federal Gun Control Act of 1968 makes it a felony with a 10 year prison sentence for “illegal Aliens” to own or possess a gun. Unlike the other categories of persons prohibited from possessing guns, the law forbids ALL undocumented immigrants from owning or possessing guns, even those that have never committed any of the listed crimes."
"But your honor I was just using it, it isn't owned by me" isn't an excuse that will save your hide.
"your honor these drugs aren't mine, I was just using them"
