If you are talking about the guns used in movies, many are not real guns. They are blank firing props. Many of the real guns in the movies have been converted to blank firing only. And in the cases where actual real registered machine guns are use, they are not "bought" by the studios, they are rented.
Stembridge Rentals (IIRC) has been the major supplier of full auto guns to Hollywood for decades, and I believe there are others as well. The guns a legally the property of the rental company, and are registered to them. The are rented to the movie producers, filmed, and returned to the rental company storage after the filming.
There have also been stories of movie companies having their own machine shops make "guns" (likely blank firing only) for films and destroying them afterward.
Since the movie people don't buy real guns (only rent them) the laws about ownership and purchase of full auto firearms generally don't apply.
