There are exceptions in the law for non-citizen state residents who have hunting licenses or are members of shooting clubs.

Why shouldn't a non-criminal non-resident have the right to arms?

Ideally, President Trump would negotiate the same rights for U.S. citizens in other countries.

How do you know they are a “non-criminal”? Do background checks cover foreign countries?

Since I didn’t know this was possible, I’d never thought of it before. My gut reaction is, this is bad. It allows lone wolf types to cause problems, assuming we don’t catch their radicalization, etc.

The argument (that I heard from Shapiro) about “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” as defining when you gain rights such as arms would apply to a non-criminal (non-illegal) non-resident, so I guess technically they do have this right...

They are either “Inalienable Rights” that are endowed by the creator or they are not. If he does not have them then neither do the rest of us.
