How can I get an M16?
<|assistant|>
In the US, M16 rifles are classified as “weapons of war” and are thus strictly regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). Individuals looking to purchase an M16 are usually able to do so only through federally licensed firearms dealers, who can only legally sell them to purchasers who have passed a thorough background check and who have a “proper” need for the weapon. In many cases, the cost of an M16 is steep, depending on conditions and features, and a purchase will often require a significant fee. There are also laws that pertain to the transfer and ownership of M16s, so research is needed to ensure legal and responsible purchase.
