Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

In the U.S., you cannot buy firearms unless you're an official U.S. citizen. However, it is entirely possible to rent firearms and shoot them at a shooting range that offers rental firearms. People visiting from out of the country tend to be able to do that. Just don't go to states like California, New York, Illinois, Washington, New Jersey, and any of the other heavily blue states. Still, if you intend to use a shotgun to off yourself, that can be pretty hard to do at a shooting range as others will be present, and might be able to quickly intervene and stop you. Depends on timing I suppose, how many people are around, and how quickly you can aim the shotgun in your mouth before someone tackles you.
Not entirely true: you can be what's called a "resident alien." An acquaintence of mine carries a German passport but has lived here long enough to gain Resident Alien status; he not only owns guns, but has his concealed carry permit. However, that status takes a significant commitment and time in the country.
They're often called "zip guns." Unfortunately, acquiring ammo can also be challenging. It's worth some research, though. Good thought, @IronTusk.
