TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Starting July 1st, Kansans will be able to own machine guns, other fully automatic weapons, sawed-off shotguns and silencers.

Governor Sebelius today signed a bill legalizing their possession.

Supporters say collectors are likely to be the main beneficiaries. They note that machine guns typically cost at least $20,000.

Purchasers still must comply with federal restrictions, which include two background checks and approval by the local sheriff.

In December, the attorney general's office issued a legal opinion saying part of the state's current ban is so restrictive that only law enforcement agencies can possess silencers. That means no dealer can have them in Kansas, even to deliver to those agencies.
