None. They are legal as long as you are 18 when your purchase it. Its a legal sport across the U.S. But paintball is a but more mainstream if more expensive.

Well.... considering the assault weapons ban was lifted a few years ago, the above answer couldn't be more wrong. here's a link to some prototype 30 round magazines that are in development stage.\nhttp://www.597mag.com/\nThere's a link at the bottom of the page where you can get on the list once they finish production.

From what I've read, it's the unincorporated areas of Dallas county.  I don't know exactly where those areas are, but they said it was legal there.  Most counties around DFW have the bans, unless you travel a couple counties over.

Yes but we call it an AR-15 \n\nIn the United States, variants with certain features were prohibited for new sales to civilians during the period 1994-2004 by the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, under the provision known as the Assault Weapons Ban. Since the expiration of the AWB, however, those features are only illegal in part or in whole in certain states. A recent ban of AR-15s in the state of California sparked a renewed interest in the rifle. It is estimated that some 10,000 California Legal AR-15s are in existence in the state. Replacing the Lower Receiver of a standard AR-15 with one that has a fixed (10 round) magazine (see below for instructions) will render the firearm legal, and able to utilize "scary features" such as a telescoping stock and pistol grip. The magazine is not detachable, and to re-load the rifle you must pull a pin, lift the (now hinged) receiver, exposing the magazine, and load either with a stripper clip or by hand, then close. Popular lower receivers for this purpose are manufactured by Stag Arms, Fulton Armory, Mega and Ameetec. Stag makes a lower receiver called the STAG-15 which is considered an "off-list" receiver by the CA DOJ and is temporarily legal. This receiver can be made into a full rifle if the following requirements are met: the receiver has a fixed magazine with no more than 10 cartridges - in which case the rifle may have pistol grips, folding or collapsing stocks, etc.; or, the receiver may have a detachable magazine but may NOT possess any sort of attachment such as pistol grips, folding or collapsing stocks, etc.

i live in illinois, and i know that you have to be 18 to buy it.  it could require a FOID card, but i kinda doubt that, since air guns are nothing compared to the other weapons out there.

Most towns have prohibitions about shooting in town

All of them.  Every state has some kind of law which regulates the possession or purchase of a weapon.  Some states are just more strict than others.

It is too bad we can not have more answers like the good ones sunsandsurf and havgunwillotravel provided instead of the of the moronic ones provided by blessed_thang’s, special ed, and vinster.\n\nThere are no federal laws banning machine guns or silencers in the USA.  As long as you have the ATF form 1 or 4, pay the one time $200 tax and live in one of the 35 states (for silencers) including Florida that allow them, then you are fine.\n\nA good thing to do is visit the sites I have listed below.  Those forums are a good source for information on choosing a silencer for an ar15.  Understand however that you will not see anything less noisy than about 130 decibels when shooting standard ammo in an ar15.  Pulling the trigger on an empty chamber results in about 100 decibels.  Because the noises associated with firearms are impulse noise, they do not seem as loud to the human ear, and the pain threshold (140 db) is much higher than for longer duration noise.  A high quality sound meter and microphone capable of less than 20 micro second response time is needed to accurately detect the noise from a firearm.  The decibel scale is logarithmic.  3 db is 2 times the noise, 10db, ten times, 20 db 100 times and so on.\n\nCheck out Soundtech, Gemtech, ACC, YHM, HTG, KAK SWR and others for silencers for the ar15.\n\nTo actually buy a silencer, first go to a licensed dealer and check them out.  Pay for it (usually $300-$1000), then bring the ATF form 4 that the dealer gives you to your local sheriff and ask him/her to sign it.  Obtaining the signature can be the hardest part as some sheriffs refuse to sign.  It may help to call or write ahead of time and ask for an appointment.  Be ready to explain the law if the sheriff thinks for some reason that silencers are illegal in the USA or Florida.  Be polite even if you are refused a signature.  If the sheriff does not sign, then other law enforcement may be able to.  Find out more by posting on www.subguns.com .  As a last resort, you can incorporate and have the silencer belong to that corp.  You still have to file all of the paperwork, and pay the tax, but the sheriff’s signature is not required.\nAfter getting the form 4 signed, bring it back to the dealer, he will send it in the ATF.  Wait 1-6 months for approval, then pick up the silencer and take it home to enjoy.\n\nI build my own suppressors using ATF form 1's.  Lots of fun.\n\nJust getting a silencer that enables you to shoot without earmuffs and not cause hearing loss is a good goal.  Forget everything Hollywood has ever shown about silencers and you will be ahead.\n\nRanb

It all depends on the state and game. In my state which is like a lot of others:\n\nhunt with a fully automatic firearm. It is also illegal to hunt with a semi-automatic rifle with a clip or magazine holding more than five cartridges (except .22 cal rimfire rifles and pistols), or use full-jacketed metal case bullets;

WOW! The uninformed children are out in record numbers today! Silencers and automatic firearms are NOT illegal! Certain states my prohibit you from owning them, but for the vast majority of the country they are completely legal for private ownership if you meet the criteria, pay the tax, and follow the federal guidelines. WHY do so many ignorant uninformed children get on this section and answer questions they have NO IDEA about, seriously, if you don't know what the hell you're talking about, DON"T ANSWER!

"FIRST OF ALL, it is illegal to own any form of M16 such as M-4, M-1, M-15 according to my knowledge. Some couple of years ago, I think President Bush put up some arms restrictions. No citizen can own any form of an AK or M-16. It was something like that." \n\n\n\nOR NOT\n\nYou can own an M16, M4, m4, M15 as long as it it set to single shot. also the civy version is the AR 15, and are used in law enforcement.\n\nthe Carbine was the M 14\n\nGo to any pawn shop in killeen texas.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nSimply ... you CAN'T!\n\nIn New Jersey, air rifles, pellet guns, BB guns, etc. are considered FIREARMS and require the purchaser to have a NJ Firearms Identification Card ... our state's version of a rifle and shotgun permit. And if you are trying to get a pistol version of an air rifle, pellet gun, or BB gun, you need a New Jersey Permit to Purchase a Pistol!\n\nNo one will legally sell an air type gun to residents of NJ without the proper permits, and will not ship them here!\n\nSorry ... it's the law we must live with!
