Under federal law, fully automatic weapons are technically legal only if made before 1986, when Congress passed the Firearm Owners’ Protection Act. So it’s now illegal to manufacture new automatic weapons for civilian use.
Who's fault is it? Mc G your answer isn't fully factual about "new automatic weapons" and while the addition of "for civilian use" is cute technical terminology. It still doesn't fully answer the question, why can't I buy a UMP45?
