Yes, fully automatic weapons are legal to own as long as the person has a federal permit to possess the weapon. The permit costs $200 in addition to the cost of the weapon and the applicant has to have a local law enforcement official sign off on the application to "vouch" for the person.

Fully automatic weapons as well as sound suppressors (silencers) can be purchased from a gun dealer who holds a Class III license.

Please do not rate 2 stars/faces "Helped a little" or 1 star/face "I expected more" if you need further help as this is considered a negative rating against me. Just reply to me via the “CONTINUE CONVERSATION” button with the issue you have as I receive no compensation for my efforts for the lowest two ratings.
