Mdrim13---- IF you can pass the extensive background check and IF you can afford to by it most select fire or full autos start around 7 large (thousand) and go up from there and IF you can afford to feed the old girl you pay your $250 for the tax stamp and it's yours. That's the federal law. It also applies to SBR's (short barreled rifles- barrels under 16"), suppressors, and sawed off shotguns. You can own them but they sure want to know where you and the items in question are. The only state laws you may have to worry about would be the Peoples Republic of Californistan, NY, NJ, ILL, Mass. All places I try to avoid these days.
