What is the size, in dollars or in number of guns sold, of the market
for legal sales of fully automatic machine guns in the united states?
[to be legal for sale or possession today, a machine gun must have
been manufactured and legally possessed before 1986]

Clarification of Question by mwallens-ga on 04 Feb 2004 15:43 PST

I am interested in private sales, not sales to law enforcement or
government agencies, although total sales for both will suffice to
answer the question.

The federal statute criminalizing the sale of machine guns
manufactured after 1986 to private individuals is 18 USC 922(o).
