(AP)- A federal appeals court says illegal immigrants don’t have a right to own firearms under the U.S. Constitution.

Emmanuel Huitron-Guizar of Wyoming pleaded guilty to being an illegal immigrant in possession of firearms after his arrest last year. He was ordered held by immigration authorities at the Natrona County Detention Center in Wyoming.

Federal Court: No Constitutional Right to Bear Arms for Illegal Immigrants

An attorney for Huitron-Guizar appealed the case, saying illegal immigrants are not excluded from possessing firearms like felons and people who are mentally ill, and should have the same rights as U.S. citizens to buy a gun for hunting and protection.

The 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Denver ruled Monday that illegal immigrants have only limited protection under the Constitution.

Huitron-Guizar’s attorney, Ronald Pretty of Cheyenne, Wyo., says he plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

This shouldn't be a question. What a waste of time and federal tax dollars. If anything possession of a firearm by an illegal alien should be an aggravating factor, as the person is already a felon by having entered the country illegally in the first place. And you can bet that most any illegal who is packing a gun is up to no good and probably neck deep in illegal activities. Let's also not forget that in most of the countries where illegals come from, American Citizens - even those who are legal residents - have few if any legal rights to own guns, real property, cars or virtually anything. Why should we extend such right to those who come to our country ILLEGALLY?
