Full autos are legal with a class III license and a $200 tax stamp for each weapon. Class III license requires FBI in depth background check.

Completely legal but very expensive and require tax stamps. If this guy had multiple select fire weapons at his disposal, follow the money. Retirees don't generally have hundreds of thousands of dollars at their disposal.

You may buy one, with a $200 tax & background check, IF it was built & registered before 1986.

The ‘86 restriction means there are few available, most are long used, are extremely expensive (20x or more “normal” price), and so are rarely owned & used. You need money & competence to obtain one, and typically own it as an investment vehicle.

So...they’re technically legal, but practically illegal.
