Pretty much you can go to just about any state except for California, New York, Washington state, Maryland, Illinois, and handle a firearm. As far as owning one and buying one, I don't think you'd be able to do that without meeting certain immigration and federal requirements. There might be exceptions and what not (I don't know all the details as I didn't look into laws regarding non-US citizens owning firearms), but the general answer is NO. So if you just go to the US to buy a firearm, then you would not be able to get one. Sorry :(

Could he get one through the gun show loophole?

Short answer: Not that I know of.

The broadest regulation is that you're not allowed to buy a gun without a background check that involves showing identification, and typically you're not allowed to buy a gun in a state that you are not a resident of unless you have it shipped to a dealer in your home state and undergo all your own state's permitting.

Given that you're not a US citizen, you would need to have "Resident Alien" status to purchase any firearm. A friend of mine with a German passport had to go through that process when he became a gun owner.

Even the "gun show loophole" can be difficult to negotiate as a US resident. As a foreign citizen, I think it would be virtually impossible.

Well, America is famous by wild capitalism, right? I don't understand much about business but I saw here a big business opportunity.

hmm, it's strange to see this a bit ... in my country we don't have problems with illegal acquisition of anything, the main thing is not to get caught with it...

Nah even on the illegal markets it's become pretty much impossible.

The idea that it's easy comes from the left who are trying to find reasons to push their political agenda against the second amendment.

Unfortunatelly liberals are not that liberal when it comes to gun ownership. If you confront them, they will just say it's common sence.

The business that I was thinking it's like an euthanasia shop: OK you gonna die! We have guns, drugs, ropes, etc. just choice your method and we will help you!

Look at that shotgun above his head. Beauty. That would be to tempting for me.
