Today I am speaking with retired Master Sergeant John Keene, who is the NFA specialist for the Morphy Auction Company. Specifically, we are discussing the terminology and categories of legal machine guns in the United States.

Who can buy a machine gun, and what is the legal process for doing so? It’s a complicated topic, and hopefully this discussion will make things clearer!
