A step in the right direction (for once) Unfortunately SC still absolutely forbids the possession of fully automatic weapons by its citizens.

I believe that’s actually a federal law....

National Firearms Act. Provided your particular state is obiging, and you jump thru the hoops on paperwork & background, & pay the $200 federal transfer tax, the feds ‘allow’ you to possess fully auto. As well as short-barrelled long arms, sound suppressors and certain other goodies. If your state doesn’t deem its citizens trustworthy, tho, forget it.

You are mistaken in your belief. Federal law allows citizens to own fully automatic weapons provided that they

1. own a weapon manufactured prior to 1986
2. register the weapon with the ATF, and
3. Pass a background check

Some states have additional restrictions. SC, IL, and some others will not allow a citizens to own a fully automatic weapon, others (like MD) add onerous restrictions such as an annual fee, but allow you to own one, and the rest (like GA) have no further restrictions.
