I think I found what I need.

take a look at the #3 it is curio and relic firearms.

Subd. 3. Uses permitted. The following persons may
own or possess a machine gun or short-barreled shotgun provided
the provisions of subdivision 4 are complied with:
(1) law enforcement officers for use in the course of their
duties;
(2) chief executive officers of correctional facilities and
other personnel thereof authorized by them and persons in charge
of other institutions for the retention of persons convicted or
accused of crime, for use in the course of their duties;
(3) persons possessing machine guns or short-barreled
shotguns which, although designed as weapons, have been
determined by the superintendent of the bureau of criminal
apprehension or the superintendent's delegate by reason of the
date of manufacture, value, design or other characteristics to
