It is my understanding that WA is one of the few states where even if I could find an affordable one, I could not legally own a fully automatic (ie: M16A1) rifle. I know someone is working on a change of the silencer restrictions, but I've seen no activity on the machine gun restrictions.
The range I'm a member of rents them, however (and has a sign that they have a Class III, although 'License' is a loaded term). I looked but could not find what the criteria is for corporate ownership.
How can a corporation legally own what an individual cannot own/possess/control? And what criteria does that corporation need to meet? I assume I can't form an LLC for the purpose of purchasing an NFA rifle, but can't seem to Google my way to finding out for sure.
Anyone know how this works (ie: corporate ownership of machine guns)?
