Actually no, they wouldn't. We do not have an official language in this country to my knowledge.
Agreed, we do not have an "official language." On the other hand, part of the legalization process does require one to prove fluency/comprehension of English.I seams that most Americans think are official language is "Archie Bunker".
The person was filling out the form and was going to have a NICS check performed. I don't see any real problem, unless he fails the NICS check and the dealer sales the gun to him anyway. other than that whats the problem.
And, just for the record there are exemptions that allow people to take the U.S. citizenship test in there native language. Study for the Citizenship Test
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the underlying issue of concern is that to be a "legal citizen" you must understand english (fluency) as part of the process to getting the credentials. . .
But it should be noted that you do NOT have to be a US Citizen to buy a gun in the USA. You simply have to be a legal resident.
I have a Canadian friend who moved to the US with his guns. He now holds a carry license and buys guns here, but is not (yet) a citizen of the United States, he lives in Washington state.
We have at least one INGO member here who is not a US Citizen, he is from the UK, he has an Indiana LTCH and has purchased guns in Indiana. Again, not a citizen, just a legal resident.

Actually, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services you must take an English test to become a citizen. It doesn't matter if there is an available version in another language you must prove a level of comprehension of the english language.
