That ban did not apply to automatic weapons and it expired in 2004 and has not been renewed. Auto weapons are covered under the National Firearms Act of 1936. The last time a legally owned automatic weapon was used in a crime was something like 1968.
You can get an Uzi for $10k or less, ditto a Sten. A Thompson will be 20, and any belt fed would be 20+. A nice BAR is big bucks too. I am looking at getting a MP40, those are in the 10-12 range. But finding 9mm ammo was under a buck a round is tough.
