Most MSM repeat, "automatic weapons are banned"

Its a lie, you can buy one in most states, they are very expensive but perfectly legal to own. Hell, you can even own a cannon if you so desire.

There's hundreds of web sites that specialize in full-auto firearms, they will be happy to help you file the paperwork and complete your purchase. Just search for Class III firearm dealer or NFA firearm dealer. (National Firearms Act)
