A federal judge in Ohio has denied a motion to dismiss a gun charge against an undocumented immigrant who was living in the United States for nearly two decades. The man, who claimed to be a U.S. citizen, managed to purchase 170 guns despite repeated failures by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to prevent the sales. The judge rejected the man's Second Amendment claim, highlighting the severity of the case due to the large number of firearms involved.
