That is true, except they fail to mention that a Non-Immigrant Alien, such as a Valid Student Visa holder, only needs to acquire a Valid Hunting License and remain a Resident of a US State for 90 consecutive days in order to Purchase and Possess firearms legally. And yes, even though it requires a Hunting License, they can then buy all the Self Defense weaponry they want.
I have no idea if this applies in the VT shooting, but in general, simply because a person is in the US on a Student Visa does NOT mean that they cannot legally possess firearms. They do need to take that extra step though, of getting a Hunting License, to make it legal.
