An illegal ALIEN can never have resident status unless he leaves the US and applies for residency, or if the Bush morons give amnesty. An illegal cannot own a firearm legally in the US.

An illegal alien can buy one off the street. IF this amnesty bill passes then they have legal status here so they would have the same rights as any other non-citizen resident.

In 1998, the United States enacted a law that generally makes it unlawful for nonimmigrant aliens to possess and receive firearms and ammunition in the United States. There are exceptions to this prohibition, including (1) an exception for nonimmigrant aliens who possess a valid hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the United States and (2) an exception for nonimmigrant aliens entering the United Sates to participate in a competitive target shooting event or to display firearms at a sports or hunting trade show, sponsored by a national, State, or local firearms trade organization, devoted to the competitive use or other sporting use of firearms. The other exceptions are less common – they are for specific categories of persons, such as law enforcement officers entering the United States on official law enforcement business.

I am a police officer in malta and for the past one year I worked in detention with illegal immigrants, here in Malta they spend 18months in detention if they get 2 rejections to become refugees. I guess when they are free they can buy anything they want.

are you joking, an illegal would buy an illegal gun, so yes it would be easier for them to get a gun than it would be for you, having to prove you are a USA born lifetime resident with papers to homeland gestapo.

Sure What does being legal have to do with buying a gun.
