What is the difference between a full automatic weapon and a semi-automatic weapon and which one is legal in the US?
A fully automatic weapon means you can hold down the trigger and it will continuously fire. Semiautomatic means you fire one round for each pull of the trigger. A selective fire weapon is capable of fully automatic fire, and lets you select between the two. To own a fully automatic weapon in the US, you need a Class III National Firearms Act tax stamp for the firearm. The importation of fully automatic weapons for civilian sales was barred in 1968, and the domestic manufacture of fully automatic weapons for civilian sales was barred in 1986 - however, weapons of either type manufactured before the effective date of their import/manufacture can still legal be transferred between licenced civilian owners.

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***
Is it legal to buy or own automatic firearms?
As long as you are not a felon and are properly licensed to carry and own a weapon in your state. Actually, that answer is only partially correct, at least in regards to the U.S. In the U.S. it is legal to own fully automatic weapons in 38 or 39 states. You do not have to already own a firearm of any kind, nor do you have to have a permit. In order to purchase any class 3 item, the only requirement is that you live in a state where it is legal, that you are 21 or older, and that you have no felonies or disqualifying misdemeanors. Basically, if you can legally purchase a handgun from a dealer, you can purchase NFA/Class 3 items.
