The Second Amendment Foundation today filed suit in federal district court in Nebraska against the City of Omaha, challenging the city’s prohibition against anyone who is not a United States citizen from registering a handgun.
SAF’s lawsuit, on behalf of Armando Pliego Gonzalez, a resident alien living in the city, is joined by the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association. They are represented by attorneys Bernie Glaser of Lincoln, and David Sigale of Glen Ellyn, IL. Defendants are the City of Omaha, Mayor Jim Suttle and Police Chief Alex Hayes.
Pliego, a member of both SAF and NFOA, has been admitted legally to this country as a resident alien for permanent residence. He was approved as a permanent resident in October 2008. His wife is also a lawful permanent resident, and the couple has four children.
“There are no federal laws requiring U.S. citizenship as a prerequisite for the issuance of a license to purchase, register, carry, transport or even legally conceal a firearm,” noted SAF Executive Vice President and founder Alan M. Gottlieb. “Yet the City of Omaha makes a distinction by prohibiting legal resident aliens from completing the legal requirements to purchase and own a handgun. This prohibition appears to be in conflict with the Second and Fourteenth Amendments, and with the Nebraska State Constitution.”
After his home was invaded and robbed in 2010, Pliego sought to arm himself to defend himself and his family. However, Omaha’s prohibition stands in the way. When he tried to register a handgun that he had legally purchased, the Omaha police denied the application.

“Mr. Pliego jumped through all the hoops, and yet was denied his right of personal protection because of a city municipal code,” Gottlieb stated. “The citizenship requirement in Omaha’s code is an unconstitutional denial of equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment, and the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
“We’re asking the court for a declaration that the citizenship requirements contained in the Omaha code is unconstitutional,” he concluded.
The Second Amendment Foundation (www.saf.org) is the nation’s oldest and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing and legal action group focusing on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own and possess firearms. Founded in 1974, The Foundation has grown to more than 650,000 members and supporters and conducts many programs designed to better inform the public about the consequences of gun control.

A man has a right to protect himself and his family. Notice how the scumbags
attack the people that come here legally.
What is the problem? The Constitution covers American citizens, not foreign nationals, on our nations territories. Illegal aliens need not apply, indeed, they need to take their arses home, if they are found with a weapon, send the weapon home with them, to their country.
If you have common sense, I don’t think you can possibly argue that the forefathers wanted british nationals, british troops, etc. to be guaranteed the same rights as citizens.
Are you saying a non-citizen does not have the right to free speech or freedom of religion. The claim that the constitution does not apply to legal immigrants and dangerous. A non-citizen could get a gun permit in Nebraska state. Therefore, on the basis of the U.S. Constitution and state law the city ordinance is unjust.
As far as individuals asking why the man doesn’t become a U.S. citizen; it remains that case that he has to wait five years or more before applying. That’s immigration law.
If only U.S. citizens could legally bear arms, then that exclude U.S. nationals and lawful residents. I guess the police could search and seize the property of the foregoing because the Constitution supposedly doesn’t apply to them.
Shall not infringe.
Get them.
