You need a Class 3 Federal Firearms License(FFL) to buy ,sell, or otherwise own a modern automatic weapon. If your interests are more toward older (automatic)weapons, a Curio and Relics(C&R) FFL (much easier to obtain) is required. Having an FFL requires quite a bit of paperwork up front, cash, and the ability to maintain paperwork on the status of all weapons bought, sold, traded, or possesed. Go to the BATF Website for more license info. (Your local gun shop is what the mean by local FFL dealer, they can't send the weapon directly to you unless you have an FFL).
What do you mean by a Bushmaster situation? If you mean an AR-15, Bushmaster is just one of many mil-spec AR-15 manufactures. And possibily not your best choice. Oh yeah, then there's that pesky pre-/post- ban issue you have to deal with.
