do you have dual citizen ship, meaning are you considered an american citizen or not, and NOT maybe just had been born here? there are rules sin which one must do to KEEP citizen ship of a country! or as far as I know there is!
??
as if not, I doubt you qualify to BUY a firearm in the USA,, in order to BUY a firearm in the USA< most ALL legal paperwork requires a LEGAL address in the USA!, and [pending the type of firearm you wish to buy, it can be based on if possible based on WHAT state you reside in!

however, if you OWN a firearm in your current country, you can many times BRING that into the USA for hunting purposes as long as it meets legal status in the firearms rules
, would be just like USA citizens traveling to other countries to hunt and bringing there firearm with them!
you have to go thru the proper channels and paperwork to do so!


HOWEVER
maybe it would be easier to start ARCHERY HUNTING< a lot less hassle than working with a firearm! in all aspects from travel and such! but again, every country has its own rules on what the consider a WEAPON these days! and has travel restrictions based on them! so be back to proper paperwork needing to be filled out and carried!

and you will get a LOT more help if you narrow down what species you wish to hunt and WHERE you would like to hunt it
and, are you at LEAST over the AGE of 21?
next once you narrow down a species and then a STATE in which you wish to hunt, you can go forward with contacting that states game dept and finding out what rules and documents you will need to be able to hunt there
MOST all places require a hunter education card, but being from another country, you MIGHT have to pass a like course here when you get here before you can BUY a lic and tags, OR possibly if you have something LIKE it where your at, they MIGHT allow what hunter safety training you have be allowed, if its up to that states criteria

as is your asking a rather black question and it will be very hard to answer as such with any REAL better help than WHAT IF"S!
