ONLY Citizens can own guns. Its a constitutional right for CITIZENS only.

Given your question you either live under a rock or you are a minor.

Permanent Reisdents can own guns as well.

To answer OP's question, No, you can't own a gun with DACA.

Not true, LPRs can own guns, people on non-immigrant visas also can but they basically need a hunting or sporting license to do so, dunno about TPS holders but I'd lean towards yes because TPS is a non-immigrant status.

The relevant law here is the National Firearms Act, which does unfortunately list us as "prohibited persons", so we're basically lumped together with convicted felons and the dishonorably discharged.

I'd love to see a 2A case brought by a DACA recipient since we're not exactly illegal immigrants but I'm sure all the chicken hawks will screech at me for even daring to think out loud here.

I figure that any attempt to poke at the 2nd amendment will likely paint us as thugs who snuck over and now want guns.

I can already see the headline:
"DACA ILLEGALS WANT GUNS"
