Does the second amendment apply to non-citizens? I'm against the government jailing a visa holder for their speech, but revoking their visa is not jail.

There's some current disagreement on that in the courts after Bruen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Rifle_%26_Pistol_Ass%27n_v._Bruen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Rifle_%26_Pisto...)! https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca7/24-1534/24-1534-2025-07-16.html https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca7/24... We'll see. There is… little disagreement on this aspect of the First/Fourth/Fifth/etc., though. > revoking their visa is not jail The First Amendment protects you from non-jail government consequences just fine, for obvious reasons - "we're fining you $1M for your speech" would have just as much impact.
