That was my point, I think. In the USA, bad people can get semis. Thus, we have no need for a homemade market. The Australians by cleverly banning such, started an illegal market with easier made full autos.
Glenn, I see your point and I think it's plausible. Either way, if the point has merit we're still talking about guns used by criminals to commit crimes or to carry as self defense against the rest of the criminal underworld because of their misdeeds amongst their peers. So... either way, it's still a gun that's not used responsibly for the most part.

Of course, it's entirely possible that there may be a few people in Australia that'll risk being a convicted felon just for the cool factor of having a high fire-power gun, whereas our laws are lax enough that it would be stupid to risk the scarlet F just for a illegal full-auto hose when we have semi's with trigger bumps, slide fire stocks, and drum magazines being legal.
