I think you have only part of an addition there. If you look up the rest of the sub articles and articles it makes more sense. But you know honestly what would make more sense it to just say "If your an illegal alien or non-resident of the US, you cannot own or purchase a firearm in the US."

(C) in paragraph (2), by striking `has been lawfully admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa' and inserting `is in a nonimmigrant classification'; and

This parts important. I dont think it is included in the current law. Or defined.

If that is what it does, I disagree with it.

A blanket ban on non-immigrants buying or owning guns in the US is stupid.

Someone on here from Iceland wanted to buy a rifle in the US to take back to Iceland.

Why not?

 

[SoCalShooter]

LAR-15 I can see your point. I read it from the view that they were staying in the country and purchasing a weapon, not purchasing a weapon and going home.

 

[LAR-15]

But so what if they do (like for hunting while they are staying in the US)?

 

[Erebus]

If they are here legally and have no criminal record, why not?

 

[LAR-15]

That's my take.

Especially title 1 firearms that are not subject to the NFA.

 

[LAR-15]

Heck United Nations security personnel that were citizens of other countries got to carry MP-5 subguns around NYC (off compound) and New Jersey until President Bush put a stop to it a few years back.

this is intended to pacify mexico, as it would prohibit mexicans from temporariy entering in a legal manner and buying guns in texas, and then giving them to coyotes to run back into mexico. of course, illegals are already prohibited from buying.
