Automatic weapons are highly controlled via the 1934 National Firearms Act. In some states, such as Washington State, even if you fulfill all the requirements of the NFA, you still cannot possess one within the state unless you are Law Enforcement, Active Duty Military, or engaged in the manufacture or repair of NFA weapons for legal in or out of state customers.

Per the NFA you submit to a $200 tax stamp per weapon, a full background check (not just a NICS check), the weapon is registered to you, and the BATFE may periodically visit you to ensure you still have possession of the weapon.

Other NFA weapons classed as Destructive Devices (such as, in some states, suppressors hahaha) also vary by state.
