Did you know that owning a machine gun (select fire firearm), silencer (suppressor), grenades, 12 gauge pistol (AOW), or a short barrel firearm is completely legal according to the federal government? These firearms (and in the case of the silencers, devices) are covered under the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934. Remember, this is on the federal level. States will have their own laws governing the use and ownership of items covered by the NFA. Since I'm in Michigan, we can own select fire firearms and suppressors but cannot own short barrel rifles or shotguns as a 'normal' civilian even after the BATFE background check and tax stamp.

There is something in the works right now that would make the NFA process a little bit easier.

Also, ditch the whole SBR/SBS issue, make them just like normal rifles and shotguns.

I want my Thompson to be full auto...legally. Can't afford 30k for a decent one though.
