I respectfully disagree. It's undeniable that there have only been three incidences of an NFA weapon being used in a crime.
While we would like to use the 'criminals will do it anyways, it just deprives the law abiding citizen' argument, fact is that the machine gun ban has reduced machine gun violence to practically zero.

Yes, machine gun violence is practically zero, but that doesn't mean the ban had an effect on actual crime or gun deaths.
Full-auto is highly overrated. It looks and sounds scary, it puts a whole lotta rounds downrange in a short period of time, and it scares the heck out of the general public; but I'm convinced if more criminals and mass-shooters used full-auto weapons there would be fewer deaths.
It's very difficult to shoot a full-auto weapon accurately and efficiently unless you're on a bipod or tripod. It's amazing how fast even a high-capacity magazine is depleted when firing full-auto. Most criminals and mass-shooters would spray-and-pray, miss most of their shots, and run out of ammo too fast.
