If you're not a US citizen, you don't have a Second Amendment right.
Noncitizen residents in the US are protected by the constitution. This includes the second amendment.
The second amendment talks about the right to keep and bear arms, not to purchase them.
They are free to buy them in the imaginary country they belong to, following their imaginary regulations.
ATF website:
I was a bit surprised myself! Now to let my wife know she can buy me a gun for Christmas!
It's crafted more to keep tourists from buying guns while visiting--my interpretation. If you're here as a tourist for sporting activities, then it's different.
Nope. Bought my wife a pink pistol for Christmas and did some research. She's a legal alien, perfectly good to own a weapon.
Funny notes:
I had NO idea how much Filipinos are into 1911 pistols! (The classic Colt .45 style.) I have found my people. I actually have one made in the Philippines, Rock Island Armory, .22WMR.
When I first met my wife I sent her a text about loving the 1911 and how entwined it was with the history of her country. She didn't respond for a bit, thought I blew it.
The gun I linked is some badass bang for the buck (not stumping for that particular vendor). Friend told me how much he loved his, now I get it. If I had some folding money, I'd get the olive version.
For now.
