Starting July 1, Kansans will be able to own machine guns, other fully automatic weapons, sawed-off shotguns and silencers.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius signed a bill today legalizing their possession.

Supporters say collectors are likely to be the main beneficiaries. They note that machine guns typically cost at least $20,000.

Purchasers still must comply with federal restrictions, which include two background checks and approval by the local sheriff.

In December, the attorney general’s office issued a legal opinion saying part of the state’s current ban is so restrictive that only law enforcement agencies can possess silencers. That means no dealer can have them in Kansas, even to deliver to those agencies.

and a few funny comments

How stupid!!! Why does anyone need a silencer or an automatic weapon? The manufacture of them should be outlawed. There is no other reason for these items other than to kill people.

Why does anyone including law enforcement need silencers? The only one who uses silencers are people are who doing something illegal.

Seriously people, why would making full-autos legal make somebody want to go out and kill people? If they were going to do that, then why wait? Why not get an auto illegally, or just kill people with legal guns?

This is truly a great day for Kansans!

Awesome!
