This will have a ripple effect, in that it will make the job, of gun dealers, even more difficult, since they will have to spend so much extra time, sorting through, all of the different visa designations, immigrant status statutes, etc, and will more than likely, result in people being denied, the ability, to purchase firearms, even if they are legally able to do so.
Not the way I read it. It simply says that non-immigrant aliens don't have the right guaranteed by the Constitution. Federal law provides mechanisms for non-immigrant aliens to purchase and possess firearms and many states have no additional restrictions, so I don't see what changes.
