Recently, eight Chinese students at the University of Arizona (UA) have had their locally purchased guns confiscated, and some have been convicted of misdemeanors for illegally purchasing hunting licenses. In recent years, international students have inexplicably violated U.S. laws because they do not understand gun laws.

In reports about the forcible confiscation of eight Chinese students at the University of Arizona, it was pointed out that non-US residents are not allowed to own guns. International students are a category of non-residents of the United States. However, the supervision of hunting license sales agencies in the United States is not very strict. Many students can successfully buy resident hunting licenses, and naturally they can also buy guns. This makes children unknowingly violate Arizona laws.

In January 2016, Jiang Yue, a Chinese student at Arizona State University, was shot to death by an American in a vehicle. This incident has aroused the vigilance of many Chinese students' awareness of self-protection. Non-U.S. residents are generally not allowed to purchase compulsory products. Does this mean that non-U.S. residents will become a vulnerable group without protective weapons? The United States also has a hunting license for non-U.S. residents, which is much more expensive than a general resident hunting license. During the validity period of the license, non-U.S. residents can legally own firearms. In addition, friends who want to own guns must learn the laws on gun ownership before purchasing a gun. Otherwise, you will bring more insecurity risks to yourself, even if you have no malicious intentions at all.

So far, the most serious case involving international student gun possession in Arizona was a Chinese student at Arizona State University who brought two AR-15s onto campus and was arrested and deported. He will no longer be able to enter the United States.
