Why is it always the people who know the least about firearms are the ones who want to ban them? Fully automatic weapons have been illegal in America since the 30s. I think what you're referring to are semi automatic weapons that look like full autos. For example, the AR-15. Also, the Charleston shooter used nothing more than a semi automatic pistol, the design for which has been around and in use for well over 100 years. To put that in perspective you're basically comparing WW2 era firearms to single shot muzzle loaders (same time difference.)
