This fellow is facing deportation not because he bought a gun, but because he failed to meet the requirements of his visa by not attending classes. The "sniper rifle" comments and change in behaviors accelerated the process.
in the context of natural rights, you are referring to what is covered in the constitution? Interesting that in China it would have not been legal for him to own these weapons yet he can come here as a legal visitor and own them.

He cannot get get a job off campus, cannot vote, has no representative in Congress yet can buy whatever firearm he wants. I see it says that applicants for this visa are fingerprinted. Do you know what type of background checks are done in their home country? I could not find that info. Very interesting.
