Private ownership of fully functional full-auto weapons is indeed legal. One must secure a permit from the BATF, a process which requires subjecting yourself to an extensive background check, and securing a favorable reference from the "highest ranking local law enforcement official" (typically the county's sheriff). A good friend of mine went through the licensing procedure several years ago and was successful. The process took about 90 days. He did not follow through the purchase, however.

As a previous poster noted, the number of crimes committed with legal full auto weapons is virtually zero.
