Smile class III
There are about 221,000 transferable machine guns that individuals may own. You have to pay a one time $200 tax, pass a FBI background check (fingerprint cards), fill out the IRS/ATF paperwork and get the local sheriff to sign your paperwork. All other machine guns that are used by the governments, police, etc usually are not transferable to individuals. There are three groups of machine guns, four if you count the illegal ones. One group is a class III weapon that is transferred between dealers, class II manufacturers and government agencies (police departments, etc) and cannot be transferred to individuals.
In Alabama if an individual can legally purchase a pistol he can buy a transferable machine gun.
