This kind of behavior is going to lose us all of our guns before too long.

This needs to change. Unless you have a green card in the US for example, you are not allowed to have firearms. There are exceptions for hunters, but that’s about it.

How do you pass NICS without any type of green card/citizenship, unless you're going through private sales?

FBI runs the background check. It’s simple

But it's federal law, you need to be a lawful resident of the United States/and of the state you're in to buy/take possession of bought firearms through an FFL. ATF form 4473 literally asks if you're a permanent resident or citizen. If you're visiting the US as a Canadian or living as a "snowbird", NICS would fail your background check given your status.

It does not ask if you are a permanent resident. It asks if you are a state resident.
