Thank you F.U.
I posted about this a couple of months back. Fully auto/machine guns are essentially banned UNLESS one pays the tax required AND submits to the NFA registry.
Post 1798: Anyway, there is one federal gun registry exception. NFA weapons are required by law to be registered with the Feds. NFA weapons include machine guns, certain parts of machine guns, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers, and destructive devices such as grenades or mortars. An additional category called "Any Other Weapon" is also included.
I don't think fully automatics are big part of the gun violence problem in America anyway though, at least not that I'm aware.
I have seen several crime stories where short-barreled weapons were used however.
