I posted an AR for sale and was contacted by an English guy. He said that he has a green card, VA DL, and has purchased many guns from Blue Ridge. I thought you had to be a citizen to buy an AR? Am I wrong? Thanks for your help.

When I bought my AR, I had to prove my citizenship. I was told that it was because of the 30-round magazines that came with the rifle, which would be consistent with paragraph C of the law that Chasbo supplied.

Caveat: IANAL

So if what I'm reading is correct, it's okay to sell just not with a 30 round mag?

How do you come to that conclusion?

Never mind. I read it wrong. So based I the first paragraph, it's okay to sell it to him as is since he is a permanent resident. Correct?

That's my take.
