What machine guns are illegal in utah?
In most U.S. states, including Utah, individuals that can otherwise legally own a firearm can purchase machine guns. You register the item with the ATF on a form 4 and pay a $200 tax stamp fee for each item. This is a one time fee for each item, but the biggest issue for most people right now is the wait time. Right now, the wait time to receive your form back is about 10 to 11 months.
The "class 3" license, or more correctly called an SOT (Special Occupational Tax) is what the dealer must have to sell class 3 items.
Additionally, individuals can only own machine guns that were manufactured and registered before May of 1986.
Believe it or not, "Snipes" are not a real animal!!! Snipes are an urban legend, and it has been a tradition for generations to take young or unexperienced campers 'snipe' hunting in the Utah mountains. The small animals you see at night when you are 'snipe' hunting (with toothpaste and peanut butter as bait, and a pillowcase to catch them in, of course!) are actually potguts... which is another random Utah name for the Uinta Basin Ground Squirrel.
To see a picture of the little potgut critters, see the "Related Link" below.
