There are semiautomatic guns (pull of trigger fires one shot) and fully automatic guns (pulling trigger ONCE fires more than one shot) Semiautomatic guns are legal in almost every place in the US. Fully automatic guns are restricted in a few states, but can be owned in others IF the gun is registered with the Federal BATFE, and a one time $200 tax paid on the transfer of ownership. LEGAL fully automatic guns are VERY expensive, with cost starting at about $2,000, and quickly going up. Guns such as an original Thompson submachinegun may sell for $20,000 or more.

Are there more illegal guns or legal guns in America?

Presumably legal. There are no solid statistics to indicate what the number of illegal guns are - it can only be estimated. Also, there are very few guns that are illegal. This would include only machine guns and destructive devices without proper paperwork. Most guns used in crime are legal to own by normal people, but in possession of what is called a "prohibited person". Felons may not possess guns, but it is the felon status that makes this a crime, not the gun.
