Question

Can you build and legally own an automatic weapon?

Answer 1

I'm aware that automatic weapons manufactured after 1986 cannot be passed to or from civilians. But I was curious if you can manufacture one on your own for personal use as long as it's not being transferred. This whole 3D printing business got me thinking, it may be possible that it opens up the door for people to get into automatic weapons if there is a way to do it legally.

Answer 2

So in short Yes you can build then not you cannot legally own them unless they are approved by the NSA (=

Answer 3

Yes BUT to legally own it (assuming it is not illegal by state law where you live), you must register it with the BATF and pay an annual tax on it of a few hundred dollars (I don't recall the exact amount at this time)
