fully automatic weapons

[hofts]

i am curious what i would need to do to get my hands on a little "mac 10 or 11" in full automatic. why.....because i have a blast once in a while shooting them at the range, and i have always wanted one just to have i guess.

do you need a special license or anything. i have heard all you really need is lots of coin and patience, well i have the patience i guess.

my question is how do you go about getting a fully automatic weapon to own and shoot as a hobby?
thanks
