The 2A does indeed only apply to American citizens.

quote:

To summarize, the Supreme Court first determined that “the people” of the Second Amendment follows the Verdugo-Urquidez framework, a case in which the Supreme Court wrote that aliens do enjoy some constitutional protections. Yet, the Heller Court also repeated over and over that the right belongs to “Americans” and “citizens.” Is this an oversight, or an unintended contradiction in the Second Amendment’s scope? After all, the ultimate holding of Heller did not depend on whether “the people” included noncitizens. Or is this muddling of the Verdugo-Urquidez definition of “the people” a more deliberate practice? Additionally, the Supreme Court’s reading of the prefatory clause inserted an element of collective security into a right Heller held to be individual.

5 minutes on DuckDuckGo, and another 5 minutes to read. Geez, you call yourself a lawyer?
