> No private citizen can buy a machine gun today.

You can not buy a _new_ machine gun. The ones already registered are just like any other NFA item and can be transferred to anyone willing to pay the $200 tax.

Private citizens can import/manufacture machine guns provided they are properly licensed. These can't be sold to other private citizens however.

Subject to state law. Private citizens (i.e. not businesses in the trade) can't own them in WA or essentially in CA.

Seriously considering getting an FFL(07) for our company/office or a related entity once we have an office in a place like NV. Unclear if we want to just make suppressors (and keep post-1986 NFA items around for compatibility testing) or manufacture a range of NFA.

Mainly because now that crypto isn't so much an ITAR thing, I want a reason to register with ITAR again.
