Well..... Why can't you just open up the newspaper and buy a gun from a private citizen instead of jumping through all the hoops that a dealer must comply with?

I'm not aware of any laws that prohibit aliens from owning a gun, just the federal nonsense that only applies to purchasing from gun dealers.

Am I missing something here?
