Depends on where you are. In the US, it is possible for a private citizen to legally own a fully automatic firearm in most states. The transfer of such as gun to you must be approved by your Chief of Police, and you will need to supply fingerprints and photos to the BATFE (and a $200 tax) and undergo a background investigation. You will also need a large wallet to hold the money to pay for that AR15. A LEGAL, registered AR15 sells for about $25,000 today.

Why are AK47 illegal?
AK-47 models are not fully illegal, it's that the fully automatic variants are restricted to military usage and thus a typical civilian cannot get easy ownership of such rifle. However, semi-automatic versions are legal for civilians to own. If you live in a place where semi-automatic rifles aren't restricted, then you're in luck to getting the semi-auto AK-47.

No, it is NOT illegal to own a fully automatic weapon (and/or silencer) in Georgia.

Why is the Glock 18 illegal?
Because its fully automatic, and was not importable pre 1986 (when the assault weapons ban was introduced). Only fully automatic weapons produced pre 1986 and were already legally owned in the US are now legal in the US. Although it IS legal for Police Departments to own Glock 18's, if they have been trained by Glock. It is also legal to own (in certain states, with strict stipulations), a Glock 17 (or any other model besides the 18) with a fully automatic sear. Which is essentially a Glock 18. **I Am NOT A Lawyer***
