To purchase a fully automatic weapon requires a Class 3 Federal Firearms License. It doesn't cost much ($200) but there are some serious interviews to pass first. Also, a Class 3 FFL means you are a licensed dealer of firearms, which means you come under quite a bit of scrutiny, and are considered responsible if anything untoward happens.

When I said "illegal" I meant that it's not like you can go to a gun show or shop and pick one up just because you want it. You have to jump through some fairly serious hoops.
