mosholu they were pushing the foreign angle to put a spotlight on federal gun laws.
non-u.s. citizens can possess firearms under certain circumstances. we have these excpetions because it wouldn't be possible for olympic shooting and similar events to be held here, etc.
the law is complicated, but it reads ... if you are a lawful resident alien with a clean background, you have the same gun rights as a law-abiding citizen.
note that a lawful resident is not the same as a person coming in with a student visa.
anyways, i'm sure there will be calls for closing this "loophole."
