In recent months, federal and state officials have cited at least eight Chinese students at the UA for fraudulently obtaining resident hunting licenses, and also seized from them a number of firearms obtained using those licenses. A high-ranking federal official told the Star his agency has no evidence of “malicious intent” by the eight students. Nevertheless, the purchases reveal what officials say is a potentially troubling vulnerability in federal and Arizona firearms laws, which exempt international students and other nonimmigrant visa holders with hunting licenses from prohibitions on gun ownership. |

So, the only thing they did that was illegal was to buy the Resident license instead of the more expensive Nonresident license?
"Gong was cited by the state officer for fraudulently obtaining a hunting license, a Class 2 misdemeanor to which he pleaded guilty and paid a fine. He is facing no other state or federal charges, according to court documents and a federal official." |

Sounds like they are making a mountain out of a mole hill.
As if they didn't have bigger problems to pursue. Taking guns from non residents where there is no hostile intent borders on legal robbery. |

Unreasonable would be to swarm them with feds and force 'consent for seizure' out of them.
Reasonable would be to tell them their license aren't valid and give them 10 days to get a valid license or get rid of the guns.
I wonder what would happen if they bought nonresident licenses and demanded their rifles back? |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
