Legal means in compliance with public law, and that varies state to state, country to country. In MOST of the US, fully automatic firearms (machine guns) ARE legal to possess. However, to buy one, the transfer must be approved by the Federal BATFE and by local law enforcement. That will require fingerprinting, a background investigation, and payment of a $200 transfer tax. They will also be more expensive than you think- since no new full autos can be transferred to a private citizen, a legal, registered M16 will cost you about $26,000.
