That is 100% false. You absolutely can own a fully automatic weapon and it isn’t all that difficult.
The requirements for owning a machine gun, or an automatic weapon, in the United States:
Must not be classified as a “prohibited person.”
Be at least 21 years of age to purchase a machine gun from the current owner.
Be a legal resident of the United States.
Be legally eligible to purchase a firearm.
Pass a BATFE background check with a typical process time of 8 to 10 months.
Pay a one-time $200 transfer tax. (You’ll need a stamp for each machine gun.)
And now you're good to go.
