if you have a class 3 firearms license you can have pretty much anything(i dont know about rocket launchers though). otherwise you can own anything as long as it is semi auto.

unlawful firearms are undesirable in that they'll get you thrown in penitentiary. there is not any longer some thing morally incorrect about having a rifle with a barrel 15" lengthy.... yet that receives you 10 years in penitentiary, in case you do not pass begging on your knees to the ATF with a $2 hundred verify to stuff of their undies. You have self assurance your authorities.... it extremely is the issue. The ATF isn't pleasant authorities. they have risk free blood on their fingers... they have set human beings up and therefore murdered their households earlier, and have not even been quiet about it. seem up Ruby Ridge... Then tell me the mummy preserving a baby deserved to be sniped because a pal had a shotgun with a barrel lower than 18". Or the 14 12 months previous boy... Did he should get shot in the decrease back? What about the canines they shot to initiate the shape? They murdered 2 human beings and the kin puppy... because of against the law without sufferer.

Please, nonetheless, tell them your guns... there are such extremely some guidelines, you gained't even comprehend you've damaged one. All they choose is an excuse, and they'll damage your existence....

Answer 3

you may own machine guns, ( not rocket launchers that work) with proper license and permits, there is a transfer fees on machine guns along with a license per gun that has to be gotten.

But civil war weapons are really great to collect also.

Answer 4

The National Firearms Act makes general possession or ownership of Machine guns, illegal. Class II firearms can be owned. You'll find it to be a very expensive hobby. There is a $200.00 transfer tax/stamp for each weapon that falls under that category. Destructive devices, ie. grenades, rocket launchers, etc are not legal unless they are deactivated. The process involved application to Alcohol Tobacco Firearms, background check, fingerprints, fees all have to be done for a specific weapon. After you are approved for all this, then you can purchase the weapon. The only people you can legally buy or sell to are those that currently hold an NFA license so the fraternity of machine gun users is not very large nationally. Keep in mind, sawed-off shotguns,rifles and silencers fall into this class also. A well made silencer will cost quite a bit also.

Answer 5

It is much cheaper to collect semi-automatic or bolt action rifles. It is not necessarily illegal to collect these as long as you dont live in one of our liberal bureaucrat's empire states. The full auto machine guns require a class three liscense, kind of expensive.
You can go to most criminal's homes to see illegal weapons anyway, thanks to gun control laws which are designed to disarm law abiding citizens to make things safer for criminals, both free lance ones, and the ones in the government. Criminals have no problem getting anything they want.

Answer 6

I would never own any of that.

Gangs of Illegal aliens in California have all of that stuff.

The laws vary state to state since the Supreme Court determined gun laws are state rights.

In the landmark 1939 court case, the Supreme Court ruled that it is O.K. for civilians to have military weapons.
