      No, you didn’t. Machine guns aren’t legal to own unless you have a very expensive permit which basically grants the ATF an unlimited warrant to perform a search for it.

      Also, this article is about the US, so making that distinction isn’t necessary.

        Replacing one or two parts to make a weapon automatic is easy. The article doesn’t clarify what a “machine gun” is or what make or model. Buy a few AR15s, replace the parts. Machine gun. And illegal. Fitting the article’s definition.
