I have to register my cars every year. Pretty sure cars kill more people than guns. Nobody is trying to take my cars away. I think the gun confiscation fears are way overblown. Never gonna happen.
The ownership of full auto machine guns is still legal if owned before April 4, 2013. Doesn't sound that restrictive.
No, that doesn't sound very restrictive at all. By the way, who told you that? It's wrong. From
GunCite - Gun Control: Machine Guns
*************************************
A fully automatic weapon (a machine gun) is one that fires a succession of bullets so long as the trigger is depressed or until the ammunition supply is exhausted. In addition, any weapon that shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot automatically, more than one shot at a time by a single trigger pull, is legally considered to be a machine gun.
Submachine guns are fully automatic weapons that fire a handgun cartridge and can be operated by one person. Sometimes they are referred to as machine pistols.
A machine gun can normally fire between 400 and 1,000 rounds (bullets) per minute, or between 7 and 17 rounds per second.
Federal Firearms Regulations
It has been unlawful since 1934 (The National Firearms Act) for civilians to own machine guns without special permission from the U.S. Treasury Department. Machine guns are subject to a $200 tax every time their ownership changes from one federally registered owner to another, and each new weapon is subject to a manufacturing tax when it is made, and it must be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in its National Firearms Registry.

Never gonna happen, you say? It happened after hurricane Katrina, didn't you hear about that? Many of those folks were disarmed.
