I looked it up and one website says :
“There is a specific exception in US firearms law that permits a non-immigrant alien to purchase and possess provided they have a hunting license issued to them from the State they are a resident of and as long as all other Federal and State laws are followed on firearms ownership.”
The kid got screwed in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Not a citizen. Seems like he should not be buying guns to begin with. Jail and deport him.
Internet searches prove nothing. A clear case of ‘law enforcement’ finding an easy target, and harassing him to get their arrest numbers up, and fool the people into thinking that they are stopping crime.
“...He says he traded the 30 round magazines for a sling, because he knew that he could not use 30 round magazines in the rifle because of a weird quirk in Virgina law.”
And what is this quirk?
Not only no evidence, at this point there is evidence to the contrary. He only had a 20 round magazine.
When I was in Hawaii, there were all sorts of flyers and on street ad men, selling trips to the gun range. These were aimed (no pun intended) at Japanese tourists. They could come to America and shoot guns as a tourist thing to do.
This is what gun ownership in America looks like without the Second Amendment.
