Thank you for the correction. Kind of shocked though.

It’s only half true. New transferable fully automatic weapons have been illegal since 1986.

The few that are out there are collectors items costing upwards of $20,000.

So while it’s tecnichally true that if you live in a state where they have not been banned outright you can legally buy a fully automatic assault rifle in the US, they are extremely rare and expensive.
