You must obtain permission from your local law official, which may be the Chief of Police, Sheriff, or in some cases a judge. Then you must submit your fingerprints and the completed form to the BATF for their review, with the transfer tax of $200.00. This process must be done prior to the transfer, and sometimes multiple transfers are required to get the gun to you. There is not a permit for machine guns, but a tax paid receipt which proves legal ownership.

Is it illegal to own a fully automatic AR-15?
Depends on where you are. In the US, it is possible for a private citizen to legally own a fully automatic firearm in most states. The transfer of such as gun to you must be approved by your Chief of Police, and you will need to supply fingerprints and photos to the BATFE (and a $200 tax) and undergo a background investigation. You will also need a large wallet to hold the money to pay for that AR15. A LEGAL, registered AR15 sells for about $25,000 today.
What is the difference between a full automatic weapon and a semi-automatic weapon and which one is legal in the US?
A fully automatic weapon means you can hold down the trigger and it will continuously fire. Semiautomatic means you fire one round for each pull of the trigger. A selective fire weapon is capable of fully automatic fire, and lets you select between the two. To own a fully automatic weapon in the US, you need a Class III National Firearms Act tax stamp for the firearm. The importation of fully automatic weapons for civilian sales was barred in 1968, and the domestic manufacture of fully automatic weapons for civilian sales was barred in 1986 - however, weapons of either type manufactured before the effective date of their import/manufacture can still legal be transferred between licenced civilian owners.

How many people own assault rifles?
No new legal full-autos have been manufactured for the civilian population since 1986. Fully automatic weapons and destructive devices (grenades, bazookas, etc.) have been taxed and regulated since 1934. The National Firearms Act of 1934 requires that before a private citizen may take possession of a fully-automatic firearm he must pay a $200 tax to the Internal Revenue Service and be approved by the Treasury Department to own the firearm, which is registered to the owner with the federal government. @ 150,000 fully automatic weapons are owned by private citizens. Since 1934, I can only remember reading of three LEGALLY OWNED AND REGISTERED fully atuomatic weapons being used in a crime. One of those was committed by a Police Officer. Now, if you buy into the gun control advocates definition of "assault" rifle as anything that "looks like" a fully automatic rifle and fires once each time you pull the trigger, the number is eaisly into the millions.
