So far as I can tell, in WA State RCW 9.41.190 makes it illegal to "own, buy, sell, load, furnish, ..." machine guns. And yet at least one local range (and I assume others) will let you rent a select-fire AR for use on their range.
Of the excemptions to the law about the only one I can see could apply would be the "acquired prior to July 1, 1994" part, but given they have close to a dozen different types, it seems unlikely.
My intent isn't to jam them up, its the more obvious "If the gun store owner can get a Class III and own NFA-registered select-fire in WA, what do I need to do to do the same?"
It can't be "create a gun store corporation" because people already do that for the silencer issue, but not for select-fire. Thoughts?
