>don't get their hands on
any machine guns....Even law biding citizens don't need machine guns.<

Law abiding citizens don't need Corvettes either. Are you gonna ban those as well? Legislating something by measuring its utility is dangerous imo.

There are a hundred thousand licensed machine guns in this country. Not a one has ever been used in a crime. They are too valuable as collector pieces - treasures of history. You wouldn't use a Bugatti as a getaway car ... ?
Owning a Vette is fun. Owning a legal machine gun is a hoot. There is no harm in owning or operating either responsibly. Why ban a non-problem except to advance a larger illiberal agenda?
