Can you register a machine gun from World War 2?

The short answer is NO. For a private citizen in the U.S. to own a machine gun, the machine gun would have to have been made AND registered prior to 1986 if it was manufactured in the U.S. If the machine gun in question is foreign made, It would have to have been made AND registered prior to 1968. As for the issue of machine guns brought back from WWII, there was a short amnesty period during which the federal government allowed these guns to be registered, but that time has long passed. So, if you find an old machine gun in the attic of a WWII veteran, turn it in to the police, or destroy it somehow, as the mere possession of that firearm would be a federal offense.
