You must be a citizen.

Please don't even try man.

You know how bad it will look regardless of your intentions.

Not looking for any trouble at all. I just got into the hobby after going to a few ranges a couple of times. got my handgun safety permit. I went to the store to buy the part to build my own rifle, no problem at all buying it, but i was told that i will need a background check that usually take 10 days. after 10 days i go ahead and pick up my part. A bit skeptical on how would this work.

States have no jurisdiction over gun ownership for DACA holders.

"(5) Is an alien illegally or UNLAWFULLY in the United States or an alien admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa"

The background check will end with a denial.

LPR's can get them as well. My father in law was asked for his GC the last time we went to go get one since he is still a LPR.

Idk about California gun laws but under the NFA you need to be a:

• Citizen
• Permanent Resident
• Lawful Nonimmigrant with a hunting permit

So unfortunately no way to get a gun under DACA without violating the NFA. That includes both purchases and creating guns from scratch (e.g. machining or 3D printing an AR-15 lower receiver).

3D printing a lower receiver will be one of those things I do when I'll finally have my green card.
