Do you see the irony in complaining about capitalism on the World Wide Web.
Is it fair to complain about only one edge on a double-edged sword?

Um, dude. Automatic are already banned . Few of them are in circulation, registered with a tax stamp and extremely expensive to purchase. Something like five figures on average iirc. Either way, it's a very simple process to convert most semi automatic rifles into full auto and pretty quick too. Albeit highly illegal. ...Our current dilemma is not unlike the 1970's right now.
"Federal law prohibits the possession of newly manufactured machine guns, but permits the transfer of machine guns lawfully owned prior to May 19, 1986, if the transfer is approved by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives. As a result, a substantial number of machine guns are still in circulation. As of February 2018, the national registry of machine guns contained registrations for 638,260 machine guns."
In response to the use of bump stocks in the Las Vegas shooting in October 2017, ATF began the process to include bump stocks within the definition of “machinegun.” ATF finalized the regulation in December 2018.
The federal government first acted to regulate machine guns with the National Firearms Act of 1934. This law imposed a special tax on machine guns that was designed to curtail their sale and possession, and also required registration of machine guns. Later, Congress enacted a stricter law—The Firearm Owners’ Protection Act of 1986—banning the possession and transfer of new machine guns. However, this law exempts machine guns manufactured prior to May 19, 1986, as well as machine guns possessed by or manufactured for governmental entities.

we would have world peace, if not for this 'chosen' class of people.
All people are chained down to heavy toil by poverty more firmly than ever they were chained by slavery and serfdom; from these, one way and another, they might free themselves, these could be settled with, but from want they will never get away. We have included in the constitution such rights as to the masses appear fictitious and not actual rights. All these so-called "People's Rights" can exist only in idea, an idea which can never be realised in practical life. What is it to the proletariat labourer, bowed double over his heavy toil, crushed by his lot in life, if talkers get the right to babble, if journalists get the right to scribble any nonsense side by side with good stuff, once the proletariat has no other profit out of the constitution save only those pitiful crumbs which we fling them from our table in return for their voting in favour of what we dictate, in favour of the men we place in power, the servants of our agentur. . . . Republican rights for a poor man are no more than a bitter piece of irony, for the necessity he is under of toiling almost all day..
