	If by your email address you are in fact in Illinois 
	(anl is Argonne, right?), you are totally out of luck
	with regard to any full auto. You can't get them period.

	Write the Attny General in Springfield and ask for a
	copy of the State Firearms Statutes. They will send a 
	copy, and you know 'de facts, jack.

	(sorry, it's late, I probably am humor impaired at this hour...)
