In most states, no. A few states do prohibit some species or all species of snapping turtle from being kept as pets.

This fear is probably justified - snapping turtles can grow quite large, must be handled with great care, and require significant effort and expense to maintain, which makes them poor pets, generally. If you are in doubt whether snapping turtles are legal in your state and don't want to pay a lawyer to look it up, you might contact a seller. They often know which states allow snapping turtles as pets or not.
