May aliens legally in the United States purchase firearms?​

An alien legally in the U.S. is not prohibited from purchasing firearms unless the alien is admitted into the U.S. under a nonimmigrant visa and does not meet one of the exceptions as provided in 18 U.S.C. 922(2), such as possession of a valid hunting license or permit.
[18 U.S.C. 922 (d)(5), (g)(5) and (2); 27 CFR 478.11 and 478.32(a)(5) ]

Next question - how hard is it for an alien on a tourist visa to acquire a hunting licence?
