Is there anybody that knows a way for a civilian to be legally able to own modern day assault weapons.
Most of what the media protrays as "assult rifles" are mainly semi automatic firles that LOOK like military rifles. Semi auto means you squeeze the trigger one time for every shot you make. Full auto, class 3, rifles mean when ou squeeze the trigger, moire than one shot comes out. A someone said, full auto M16s start around $10K. You need a machine gun lcense usually. Where I live, you have to be a bonafide collector or a police trainer to get that license.
An AR 15 is an M16 for civilians. Its semi auto. One squeeze=one bang.
Assault is a criminal act, not a type of gun. The phrase "Assault Rifle" is loved by the Liberal media, because its' very name conveys fear and malice to the un-informed.
If you need to "get off" on shooting a full-auto weapon, there are ranges around the country where you can pay to shoot one. The coolness of it wears off pretty fast, and you find yourself with the selector on "semi" much more than "full", which means that you could have spent 1500 bucks on the most modern, highest quality AR rather than $15K on a 25+ year old gun with a feature you seldom use.Is there anybody that knows a way for a civilian to be legally able to own modern day assault weapons.

Anyone can buy an ak or ar or a body of author assault weapons.

Huh? Your message makes no sense.
And yes there are ways for civilians to legally possess full auto weapons. But to do so is going to cost you a lot of time and a good deal of money. It involves becoming an 01 or 07 FFL, paying for the 03 SOT, and being involved with the local police depts.
I personally understand the difference, but realize that most people don't have a clue.Curious...do any of you distinguish assault rifle (a very specific style of rifle) and assault weapon (basically scary guns)?
I was on Wiki recently and they distinguish the two. They aren't absolute or correct on everything, but what say you guys?
The American Model 180 appeared to be one of the coolest guns made and I really wanted one BAD when they came out. I still like the idea of a full-auto .22....probably the only full-auto I would care to own as a civilian. (READ: afford to shoot) lolI had a friend who was a class III FFL, and another friend who followed the above procedure, planning to buy an American 180 ( full auto .22, awesome weapon, check it out if your unfamiliar with it). The entire approval procedure took about 6 weeks, but the buyer ultimately declined the purchase. This was in Ohio.

No offense, but that is not correct.
1) you submit an application to BATF, which includes fingerprints and a form signed by the senior LEO in your area (usually the County Sheriff)
2) Pass the BATF background check.
3) Pay a one-time fee of $200.
4) Take your BATF approved permit to a class III FFL, and choose a pre-'86 full auto weapon.
Some states that have additional restrictions, or outright prohibitions, but in most states, the above procedure covers it. Also as noted, have at least a 5 figure bank account, as full auto weapons available to civilians (PRE-'86) are extraordinarily expensive.

FFL licenses can run at different times than the SOTs do also. SOTs are due July 1 of each year. The Type 01 FFLs can be any month and are 3 years in length. Type 03 FFL are collectors of Curios and Relics and are not dealers.Q: When must firearms special (occupational) taxes be paid and how much are the taxes?
