Besides the reasons already mentioned, I think this is a bad idea just because it would stir up so much controversy from the public... anti-gunners for sure, but even from moderates, and even those who are generally pro-2A. We would be hearing all sorts of, "OMG!! Now they have machine guns! The sky is falling and we need to stop that, and while we're at it we also need to ban anything that looks like a machine gun, or that people who would like to have a machine gun would buy!!"
