Making guns is not illegal. In US, anyone can make a gun that is not fully automatic for their own use without any sort of license, permit, or registration.

Outside of US making guns is also legal in many places, provided you get an appropriate license.

Are automatic guns illegal in America?

There are semiautomatic guns (pull of trigger fires one shot) and fully automatic guns (pulling trigger ONCE fires more than one shot) Semiautomatic guns are legal in almost every place in the US. Fully automatic guns are restricted in a few states, but can be owned in others IF the gun is registered with the Federal BATFE, and a one time $200 tax paid on the transfer of ownership. LEGAL fully automatic guns are VERY expensive, with cost starting at about $2,000, and quickly going up. Guns such as an original Thompson submachinegun may sell for $20,000 or more.
