No.
I know of no place that permits fully automatic firearms to be used in hunting.
Yes, they are legal under State law. Idaho state law does not prohibit ownership of fully automatic firearms by private citizens. However, Federal law requires that any fully automatic firearm have been registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
There are hundreds of true statements- here are a few. A fully automatic firearm is strictly regulated under US law. While they CAN be owned by a private citizen, it requires a special process to register them. They are very expensive, usually several thousand dollars. You CANNOT make your own, and you CANNOT buy them at WalMart.
Yes, in accordance with the provisions of the National Firearms Act of 1934.
Owning or possessing a fully automatic firearm is not illegal under state law, but is still illegal under federal law unless the automatic firearm is registered under the National Firearms Act. Local and State authorities are not obligated to enforce federal firearms law or notify federal authorities of federal firearms law violations, however they may, or may not, choose to do so.
In general, fully automatic firearms are permitted. In additional to Federal registration, a State license may be required for "pistol caliber" machineguns. I would urge you to discuss this with the Firearms Technical section of the BATFE, and not seek legal advice from WikiAnswers- I am NOT an attorney.
only a class 2 firearms dealer can do this legally www.atf.gov mechanical or parts malfunction can cause this to happen
Idaho does not prohibit possession of either a semi-automatic rifle, nor a fully automatic rifle (machine gun) Fully automatic firearms are regulated under Federal law in ALL states. Possession of a fully automatic firearm is legal in Idaho so long as the gun has been registered with the Federal BATFE.
No, you cannot. After the passage of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986, the domestic manufacture of fully automatic firearms for the civilian market ceased. To be able to do it legally, would you be required to first have a Type 7 Federal Firearms Licence with a Class 2 tax stamp.
The first portable fully automatic machine gun was invented by Hiram Maxim in 1884. His design, known as the Maxim gun, utilized the recoil energy to cycle the action and load the next round, making it one of the first true automatic firearms. This invention significantly changed warfare by allowing for sustained fire without manual reloading.
The AR-15 is not an automatic firearm; it is a semi-automatic rifle. This means that it fires one round each time the trigger is pulled, but does not continue firing automatically like fully automatic weapons. The AR-15 is designed for civilian use, while fully automatic versions, such as the M16, are military firearms.
