Assuming you mean an fully automatic gun, yes. In fact, contrary to popular belief, it is legal in MOST states, but not all. There are 8 or 10 states where you cannot do it at all. You have to go through a class III dealer, fill out and submit some paperwork, pay a $200 tax fee, and wait for an approval from the ATF. If approved, you then can go back and pick up your gun. It takes a while, usually at least several months. Also, as noted in many of the Related Questions, you cannot buy a newly-made weapon - only those made domestically prior to 1986, or imported prior to 1968 can be purchased.

DE, HI, IL, KS, NY, RI, WA do not allow.

Is it legal to buy or own automatic firearms?

As long as you are not a felon and are properly licensed to carry and own a weapon in your state. Actually, that answer is only partially correct, at least in regards to the U.S. In the U.S. it is legal to own fully automatic weapons in 38 or 39 states. You do not have to already own a firearm of any kind, nor do you have to have a permit. In order to purchase any class 3 item, the only requirement is that you live in a state where it is legal, that you are 21 or older, and that you have no felonies or disqualifying misdemeanors. Basically, if you can legally purchase a handgun from a dealer, you can purchase NFA/Class 3 items.
