A couple of clarifications;

The transfer tax is $200 per gun.

They are not necessarily unlawful in high crime states. They are unlawful in states with Liberal, Leftist goverments.

J Curtis Earl was one of the original, high profile machinegun dealers. His ads used to run in American Rifleman and shotgun news. J Curtis, however, was a bit of a scoundrel. If sent a valuable gun, like a Colt Thompson, for repair, appraisal or sale, you could be sure the original innards would be stripped out and poorer examples or copies replaced.

The old MoD Pattern Room in England was/is by far the largest firearms reference collection in the world, although it has since been split up and sent to several locations after the passing of Herb Woodend, The Pattern Room's curator. It was and still is the most fantastic assemblage of firearms in the world.
