Sheriff Joe Arpaio-Operation Desert Sky
LOL! My husband said, "He ain't foolin' around." 
Quote:
Arpaio Launches 'Operation Desert Sky' To Battle Smugglers
(Phoenix, AZ - March 29, 2011) Sheriff Joe Arpaio today announced 'Operation Desert Sky' - a large-scale offensive using 30 'Posse Pilots' and aircraft as spotters, combined with a ground SWAT team with M-16s and the Sheriff's 50-caliber machine gun. The objective is to effectively cut off drug and human smugglers entering the SW and SE desert corridors of Maricopa County from Mexico across the Arizona desert.

If you have a handgun permit and your state allows the transfer of machine guns, you can purchase one. Or you are required to have a C&R License - The FFL03/C&R License is useful for anyone who is interested in purchasing surplus / military surplus rifles and/or pistols.
But, I think him being law enforcement, he can get his hands on anything he wants.

“I don’t go along with the theory that the border is more secure than ever before,” said Arpaio, whose Maricopa County includes the Phoenix area, refuting claims by federal officials that crime along the Mexican border has dropped.

I don't think being law enforcement means getting military equipment and fully automatic 50 cals for deployment does it?

Well, they get M-16s and all the rest of it. Besides, he made it public, so I'm thinking if he had no right to it, he wouldn't have disclosed the information, right?

Well yeah the get M-16s
I don't know if they are fully auto or semi. Not that it would matter going against someone else unless the smugglers have fully auto.
But a 50 cal gun? wow
