Get a hunting licence. Then you fall under an exemption for legal noncitizens,it seems: https://www.quora.com/Can-a-foreigner-buy-a-gun-in-the-Unite...

I saw this, and I figured this was probably my best bet, but I was hoping to have an actual lawyer confirm. In any case, looks like I can get a lifetime hunting license from the state of Texas for about $1000 (+ whatever I have to do to actually get the license), and I'm pretty sure this solves my problem. Glad to hear someone else confirm this, at least

Quora is a horrible source to rely on for this.

Not sure about Texas, but as a Canadian in California on H1b I was able to buy a gun after completing a hunter education course and getting a hunting license. A fellow Canadian on TN did the same.

CA laws for long guns (rifles/shotguns) are much less intrusive than for handguns.
