Contact the BATFE office in your state.

In general, this is governed by state law, not Federal. Resident aliens are not prohibited by Federal law or regulation from owning or purchasing firearms. Several states will also issue licenses or permits to carry concealed handguns to resident aliens, defined as non-citizens who are in the United States legally. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives in the state where you live will likely know that state's laws as should any federally licensed firearms dealer - retail gun shop.

If you check your state laws and discover that purchasing a firearm is not permitted, seriously consider moving to another state where the right to keep and bear arms is not infringed (or at least less infringed).

Do you need to be a US citizen to own a rifle in CA?

A foreign citizen with established permanent residence may purchase and own a firearm in the US. <><><> In addition certain temporary residents of the US may legally purchase a firearm- such as for hunting. However, they must have a hunting license first. This is listed in 18 USC 922- and usually overlooked. Permanent resident aliens (such as my wife) that have a "green card" are treated as a citizen when purchasing firearms.
