There are a few guys who have had NFA weapons prior to 1994 that can still possess them. But they can't be transferred in state, so they're pretty much only good as long as the owner is alive. I know on ARFCOM there's a guy who has quite the collection. He brings them to shoots in the state. Always draws a crowd.
We can own suppressors, but can't use them. LEOs ignore the law and carry/use cans anyway. The AG refuses to prosecute them but still prosecutes civilians. A lot of guys that live in SW WA go over to Oregon to shoot their cans. Not a good story if you live in Western/Central/Northern Washington. Some Sheriffs have announced they will arrest anyone possessing a can until they can determine if it has been used. Other Sheriffs are more reasonable and will sign off on forms and refuse to harass citizens, most are not reasonable.
We can also have AOWs I believe, but no SBRs.
I'll probably never be able to justify an investment in a low-end F/A like a MAC-10, but a SBR and a can would be nice.
