If you want to
own one today, you have to obtain a permit from BATF for each weapon.
This
requires
that you pass essentially the same investigations necessary to get a top
secret
security clearance and pay a hefty fee (in 1981, the fee was $600 per
weapon). Many
States also require a separate investigation and permit, and some States
will not
allow private citizens to own them at all.

Unless you are a crook. You can get all the automatic weapons you want,
or
have money to buy, then.
And that won't change no matter how many gun laws are passed.
