You’re telling me with a clean record you can get a fully automatic high caliber rifle?
Some states have long allowed its citizens to own full auto weapons. Go to Gunbroker and then go to "Class 3" then go to machine guns.
Nevada happens to be one of those states that allows its citizens to own full auto. As an aside, there are numerous states that do so, and there are lots of full autos in private ownership. I'll be very, very surprised if this shooter was using a legally acquired full auto weapon.
Yes, if it’s allowed by the state where you reside. The feds only care about the background investigation, the $200 tax and the signature of the top LEO in your city/county of residence.
Absolutely. Go to the nations gun show in chant illy va sometime. It’s a breathtaking and beautiful thing.
It is easy to get a fully-automatic rifle if you have money and the patience to wait months to one year for the BATFE approval, or it’s a quick, cheap, and illegal modification to make a semi-automatic rifle fully automatic, even easier if you only want it to shoot full-auto. Alternatively, it’s a quick, cheap, and legal modification to buy and install a bump fire stock that makes it shoot as quickly as a fully automatic firearm.
