You don't need to be a citizen, just have residence, ie a drivers licence.
I bought a gun when I stayed in Colorado in the 80s, and I'm a Swedish citizen.

Don't have to be a citizen, but have to be either a permanent resident (green card), have a hunting license valid in the residing state or be a foreign law enforcement rep of a friendly gov plus some unclear rules on visa waiver (maybe OK if you are from EU, Japan or Australia). Sweden qualifies with the waiver.

Might be different now, but all you needed in Co when i was there was a drivers license.
And all you needed to get a drivers license was an address, get fingerprinted and passing the test.

What actually happened was, I went in to the gun store and asked what was needed to buy a gun, the guy said I needed to be a Colorado resident, I asked how to prove that and he then said that a Colorado drivers license would qualify as proof.
I then said, "great I have that, I'll take the Browning Hi Power with adjustable sight please", and he said "that will be 500 dollars and you need to fill out this form". I filled out the form where I promised that I was not a criminal and not mentally ill, and my race, and some other stuff. and some weeks later I came back and collected the gun (it had to be ordered).
