People without U.S. citizenship or permanent residency would face firearm ban

People who are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents would commit a felony by knowingly possessing a firearm. The rule would cover people who lack both U.S. citizenship and lawful permanent resident status, including those with another lawful immigration status. The offense would be a class C felony. It would be a class B felony for someone previously convicted of a dangerous felony or unlawful possession of a firearm. The antique-firearm exception applies only to the separate restriction based on a felony conviction. It would not exempt anyone from the citizenship and residency rule.
