No. Because antique firearms are not considered firearms for purposes of the Gun Control Act (GCA), none of the import regulations apply to the importation of antique firearms. Moreover, a nonimmigrant alien may聽possess antique firearms, even if the alien does not fall within an exception to the nonimmigrant alien prohibition.
