So basically the average law abiding citizen can own and shoot a fully automatic weapon and not be subjected to criminal prosecution simply by completing a few forms and paying some sort of tax stamp? How much to legally switch over my current AR to full auto... parts and tax stamp?

Well before 1986 that was true... They stopped allowing the tax to be paid on new guns, so you have to buy a pre-86 gun and thats like $16,000 and then the $200 on top of that.

Roach that is correct. To convert your new gun you need a Registered Drop in Auto Sear (RDIAS). That will run you about $10,000 currently. The price fluctuates depending on the market. Oh, and you need to live in a friendly state.
