I am not sure... these things are like long range cruiser
missiles. They can be used to highly destructive effects
but in the end of the day other weapons are used much
more often.

There was a recent political assassination in my city.
The politician was ambushed and killed with a small
handgun provided by a corrupt law enforcement agent.

We have had organized political terrorism for decades.
Terrorists tend to use small weapons or makeshift
explossives rather than big firearms. I think big auto
firearms are just too unwieldly and expensive to deploy
when you can just steal a car and put a bomb made out of
swimming pool chemmicals in it. Or just wait for the
mark behind a dark corner and kill it with a .22.

I am not saying big auto firearms are not used for ill
effect but my perception is that they are very low in
the threat scale. I know of nazi groups that have access
to lot of full autos but I can name more crimes with
grenades or minning explossives than with something like
an MP-5.
