Yes, the second amendment should apply even if you are a visitor. If a citizen just needs a license to own, then you just need a license.
I was just saying that that clause in the second amendment could be the only possible way a court could argue otherwise. Because the constitution states:
"nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
So, only that clause "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State," could modify that. But I don't think it does, but a lot of Supreme Court justices have a lot of ideas about the clause.
Only should voting (including running for office) and immigration should be tied to citizenship. I think we have the same ideas. A lot of people in the comments were arguing that non citizens should not have freedom of speech. That is pretty weird and unconstitutional.
