PA law WILL permit possession of a machine gun (fully automatic firearm) by a private citizen, so long as that person is in compliance with the National Firearms Act. The NFA is the Federal law governing "Class III" weapons- among other things, it requires that full autos be registered with the BATFE, and a $200 transfer tax paid, and that only full autos already registered by May 1986 can be transferred. You will need a Class III Dealer in your home state, and a LOT of money. The price of legal, transferable full autos is incredibly high.
