imagine if machine guns were as readily available as a semi auto. The moment the first machine gun mass shooting occurs, we can all expect to lose our guns

I disagree. A huge number of people ALREADY think "assault weapons" are machine guns; it's amazing how many people don't know the difference between semi- and full-auto. And it's always annoying when people come into our shop and point to the wall of semi-auto rifles and make machine gun noises.
Here's a recent quote from President Obama:

[I]t is possible for us to create common-sense gun safety measures that respect the traditions of gun ownership in this country and hunters and sportsmen, but also make sure that we don’t have another 20 children in a classroom gunned down by a semiautomatic weapon – by a fully automatic weapon in that case, sadly.

Pistols are different. You have to pull the trigger each time. With an assault weapon you basically hold it down and it goes <machine gun noise>.
