It does. It appears that under the ITAR, giving technical information on munitions to an alien in the U.S. is equivalent to export. I know its insane. Its an obvious violation of the first amendment. It is none the less in the regulations.

So all those aliens who want to legally receive "munitions" within the US can form a US "corporation, business association, partnership, society, trust, or any other entity organization or group including governmental entities" and have that institution which would legally be a "US person" receive the "munitions." In fact, I think that the multiplication of entities can be a useful tool. Transfering your car or your assault rifles to corporations formed in convenient jurisdictions can be a good way to dodge regulations that apply to "persons" within a particular jurisdiction. Note that under the current assault weapons control legislation you are supposed to record the sale of your weapons over time. If they are owned by a corporation, they need never be transfered. The corporation can be transferred instead. DCF "If I join the Haitian Legion will they let me keep my assault rifles."
