I believe that, with the passage of the Volkmer-McLure act of '86, that no further full autos can be offered to civilians for sale. Pity, that.

I can do just fine with a semi, though. I never feel underarmed with a semiautomatic pistol.

Or even a good single shot.

I think you'll need to cite chapter and verse, my friend. JC Devine is offering a variety of Thompson submachine guns for auction, and has this note on their page:

CLASS III / NFA WEAPONS: In all transactions, all NFA rules and regulations will apply. Class III firearms may be purchased by private individuals in many, but not all states.

California is one state that prohibits possession of machine guns by non-LEOs. New Hampshire does not. You pay the $200 transfer tax, and get a federal background check, and then you can take delivery if your state allows it.
