"An application for a firearm license or permit cannot be denied solely on the basis of the applicant’s status as a lawful permanent resident alien, a U.S. District Court judge has ruled. “Any classification based on the assumption that lawful permanent residents are categorically dangerous and that all American citizens by contrast are trustworthy lacks even a reasonable basis,” Judge Douglas P.
