I hate to be a pedant because I am on your side, but no one owns fully auto weapons in the USA. Only the military and special police units.
Semi-auto weapons are the problem in the USA (one trigger pull = one bullet). Lots of people would argue semi-auto is more deadly than full auto, as full auto typically just sprays everywhere and are hard to control for most people. Hence why only the military uses them for assaults on enemy positions.
It helps your argument to know the difference.
You may recall the bump stock debate that happened around the Vegas shooting wherein a mod can be made for semi-auto rifles that essentially turns them into a full-auto version. Of course, Republicans did not want to ban bump stocks either. Freedumbs.
