b) "relatively indiscriminate threat risk that fully automatic weapons present," I don't see this as an accurate statement. It is an emotional value judgement. How is the potential carnage of someone dumping 30 rnds pulling and holding the trigger be worse than them doing the same thing pulling the trigger 30 times as fast as they can? And I doubt we would see a rash of belt fed drive bys either.
My point is just that FA's harder to control, with a greater possibility that the rounds end up in unintended targets.

c) "beyond that required for more common defensive weapons. " OK, we're back to the circular logic again. They aren't common because we regulate them tightly, so we have to regulate them tightly because they aren't common!
You're right. Bad choice of terms, How about . . . "beyond that required for semi automatic weapons. "
