I was talking with a friend the other night who was making some comments about automatic weapons that I didn't think made much sense. He was claiming that in some state, Missouri, I believe, it was easier for one to obtain, "automatic weapons."
I told him that so far as I knew, automatic weapons were equally easy/difficult to come by in any state; that one would simply need to apply/qualify for/and obtain the appropriate tax stamp, and then they would be able to purchase an automatic weapon. I explained that the difficulty in obtaining one came into play where the prices of the weapons were concerned, as they have not been manufactured (or as far as I know imported) since 1986.
I've only been reading about/firing/purchasing guns for a few years, but I was fairly certain I was correct on the above points. He then started talking about the show, "Sons of Guns," and told me that very often they manufactured or assembled, "new," or custom made automatic weapons.
I'd honestly never seen the show, and can't see going back to watch it, but can anyone make sense of this? Were they actually making auto weapons, and if so, how were they able to do this?
Thanks in advance, I hope everyone is having a wonderful afternoon.
