Good point. However, full automatic is very wasteful of ammo, and semi-automatic is more effective for most tasks since full-automatic ‘sprays’ are not properly aimed.
I understand that having been in the Army. Rather one well placed round that a hundred near misses.
I asked this as more of a philosophical question than a tactical one. Once the worms get out of the can, what is the next in the line of progression. I can see a path that one everything becomes illegal, nothing will be illegal. It could turn into something completely unintended. Having read a bit of history, Americans tend to not behave well when pushed against their will.
