Bipartisan politics decided some even legal immigrants aren't 'people' afforded bill of rights reserved to 'people', when the gun control act of 1968 was passed. The 'but muh amendments all use people differently' argument to bypass that is laughable.

It's already quite settled civil rights aren't universal because immigrants aren't people, and those rights were ascribed almost entirely to citizens, people, or the various government entities.
