Automatic weapons are illegal unless you hold a federal license. To get that license, you will have to go through an extensive, and I do mean extensive, background check. If you pass that, then your local sheriff will be visiting you for multiple interviews, then if you satisfy him, and if he is willing to personally vouch for your trustworthiness, you will then be required to spend thousands of dollars for the license. At that point you may purchase an automatic weapon. If you modify an existing semi-automatic to become a fully automatic weapon without that license, and you’re discovered, the very least worry you will have is a legal issue of a modified firearm. It will be comparable to causing a fatal accident while DUI and receiving a failure to signal ticket along with everything else.
