Are automatic guns illegal in America?
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 automatic guns such as M-16s and Ak-47s illegal in the US?
I'm no gun expert, but I think in some states they are legal. As for which ones, you'll have to check. It's just you'll have to jump through a lot of hoops if you want to get an automatic weapon into the country, so always try to buy in the US. Fully automatic guns are legal in MOST states. To purchase one legally, you have to go through a class 3 dealer, fill out a bunch of paperwork, pay a $200 tax, and wait for an approval from the BATF. It normally takes several months, and most fully automatic guns are pretty expensive.
Should gun making be legalized?
Making guns is not illegal. In US, anyone can make a gun that is not fully automatic for their own use without any sort of license, permit, or registration. Making guns commercially (for sale to other people) is also legal, but you have to get a license and pay a tax. Outside of US making guns is also legal in many places, provided you get an appropriate license.

Depends on what you mean by automatic guns, and the law where you live. You did not tell us where that is, so there is no way we can answer.
