Full auto guns have already been been in America if you own one that's highly illegal. I don't think we should ban any more guns, but we should have stricter background checks, it's actually fairly easy for a convicted felony or parolee to get a gun, really easy and that needs to stop. If you've ever been convicted of a violent crime or being investigated for one, if you're on the no fly list, you're being investigated for suspected terrorism or if you have a violent or unstable mental condition you shouldn't be allowed to buy a gun. Everyone else can, but those people are the ones that need to be held back.
actually you can pay $3000 per year for a class 3 license to legally own full auto. ranges here do it all the time.
that said, no weapon should be illegal for me or anyone else who will be responsible with them to possess. it is murder that you want to stop so why not just make stiffer penalties for that? think about it, the reason other countries have less crime is not actually because of guns, it is because almost every other country has a tougher legal system.
if you commit murder, and the kill was not in defense of any other life, then you should be executed, but here murder gets you a free bed paid for by the state. that is bullshit compared to what other countries do. hell in singapore, they will beat you with a cane till you pass out for some crimes, that is why we have problems, not the law abiding citizens being armed but the criminals getting a free ride
