can DACA recipient legally own guns ? - Page 4

Yeah.

When it comes to firearms, the ATF has the rules listed:

https://www.atf.gov/firearms/identif...ibited-persons

The Gun Control Act (GCA), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), makes it unlawful for certain categories of persons to ship, transport, receive, or possess firearms or ammunition, to include any person:
- who is an illegal alien;

There is no gray area here.
You can’t ship it.
You can’t transport it.
You can’t receive it.
You can’t possess it.

The word ‘possess’ in law means direct occupancy, use, or control. It doesn’t simply mean to own.
As far as I can tell, even touching a firearm can put you in legal trouble.

Now, according to federal law muzzle loader rifles and pistols are not considered ‘firearms’. However, some states have their own laws about it. Check your state law.

I would stay away from any type of gun and crossbow, not worth the trouble. As stated before technically just holding or touching it can get you in trouble. Even knifes are an issue in some states.

Here in NY I can own a bow, but I can't have a laser on it haha.

NY gun laws is one of three reasons why I'm thinking of moving to Seattle if Amazon hires me. Like yeah, I'm still under DACA but fingers crossed my I-360 will finally get fucking approved.

Other two reasons are:
Cost of living (Seattle is expensive but less so than NYC)
No state/local income tax (I don't really want to pay NY and NYC ~8.5% of my income for the privilege of living there, I'd rather spend that money on me)

Or move to Oregon

My choices are basically Seattle, NYC, or Vancouver. Not big on immigrating to Canada right now.
