Too aching to look it up, but one of the more recent (2000+?) amendments to the gun control act made prohibited persons out of those who were in the US on some manner of visa -- something like a nomimigrant visa. I have a vague memory this was because some of the 9/11 hijackers had that type of visa (yes, if you like law or sausages you should not watch either being made).
