You may need to be a little more specific, however, I will give you one answer:

In regards to the U.S. National Firearms Act, there is no such thing as an NFA permit. In the U.S. in most states, any individual that can legally own a handgun can also legally own an NFA item, which includes short shotguns, short rifles, machine guns, supressors/silencers, and a few other items.

However, there is no "permit" for it. You must buy a $200 tax stamp and pass a background check, but it is literally just a tax stamp and the item is registered to you. You must buy a separate stamp for each item that you purchase.
