In most states, you can purchase a gun in a gun store, and the entire process takes 20 or 30 minutes. A few states still have a waiting period of several days, I believe. In most states, person to person gun sales don't require you to go through a gun store, but some do.

The first self powered machine gun ever made was called the Maxim gun made by Hiram Maxim in 1884. The precursor to the Maxim gun was the Gatling gun which required physical operation rather than truly "automatic." So in regards to how long it took: A long time.
Yes as long as you are trying to take someone elses gun away.
It depends on what you mean, but generally speaking, a felon can't get a gun license.
