Original Note:
Automatic rifles are heavily regulated by the NFA (1934) and FOPA (1986), requiring an ATF background check, fingerprinting, $200 tax stamp, and 6â12 month approval. New ones banned since '86, limited to costly pre-1986 models ($10kâ$40k). State laws add restrictions. https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/national-firearms-act https://www.congress.gov/bill/99th-congress/house-bill/4332 https://www.atf.gov/file/58196/download https://giffords.org/lawcenter/gun-laws/
