It doesn't really matter. As OP's story indicates, if they are banned, then they'll just be kept illegally. Just like the so called "Gun Control" crap. Does it help? Not a fucking bit. The criminals get their hands on automatic weapons anyways. The "law" has failed.
And on that Syber, you're wrong. I'm going to assume you're talking about something like an M-16 or an Uzi when you say "machine gun" that you've seen in local stores or what not.
1) An M-16 is an Automatic Rifle, not a Machine Gun. An M-60 would be an example of a Machine gun.
2) ANY Gun is legal, as long as it has had the capability for automatic and burst fire removed. So a semi-automatic only version of an M-16 is perfectly legal.
3) As I stated above, Gun Control doesn't work, the criminals get their hands on automatic weapons anyways.
4) You can buy a "legal" semi-automatic M-16 and convert it back to full automatic piece of cake. I wouldn't though, but would add 3-round burst capability back to it.
