I went to a gun shop this weekend to look at an AK-47?

Fully automatic rifles ARE legal (very expensive and lots of ATF paperwork) some states do ban individuals from owning these firearms but they can be owned by a corporation! Silencers are a bad name, they are called suppressors and they too ARE legal (expensive and ATF paperwork). Both of these CAN BE owned by a person if the state allows and a sheriff signs off and the ATF says so. It can be done by a corporation or by a trust. Both require the same paperwork but less local L.E.O. involvement. Florida is a great 2nd admenment state, Illinois with Mayor Daley really sucks.

AK-47 like many other automatic firearms are legal and guarnteed to be under the constitution.However a silencer is not legal and probably what you seen was a suppresser.It equalizes the force when the bullet exits the muzzle.

Honestly, I doubt they were fully-automatic. Did you actually see it shoot fully-automatic? It may have LOOKED like it was a fully-automatic assault rifle with a silencer, but you have to remember that most of these "machine guns" you see in gun stores and pawn shops are just semi-automatic rifles with lots of aesthetic military features. Sure, you can get "grenade launchers" for your AR-15, but where are you going to get the grenades?

It's been legal since 2003, I believe. As far as the grenade launchers, they do sell them. They aren't the same caliber as the military, though. Much smaller.

They sell grenade launchers at the gun show I went too.

Youd be surprised what is legal, the government will send someone to jail for having a little baggy of a plant grown in South American but totally look past someone purchasing a 7.62mm Sniper Rifle; makes sense to me.

Its been legal for a while as far as I know. lol and why where you in a gun shop looking for an AK-47?

Silencers have always been legal, But you do have to have a special license from the A.T.F. and pay a transfer tax to them also

HOW WERE U SOO SURE THEY WERE AUTOMATIC VERSIONS?EVEN IF SO THEY MIGHT NOT BE SOLD TO U UNLESS U HAVE SPECIAL CONDITIONS OR LICENCES ECT....(UNLESS THE SHOP IS ILLEGAL)

SILENCERS ARE ILLEGAL AS FAR AS I AM CONCERN,THEY MIGHT BE SOME OHER EQUIPMENT SUCH AS SUPPRESORS

And your point is???? In some states you have to have a license for certain weapons.
