An automatic firearm is heavily regulated and are almost never found to be used in crimes, and a 50 cal is fine for some time at the range. Please compare the stats in regards to violent deaths for guns vs cars and drunk drivers. Gonna ban cars? Booze? It is all in the hands of the people who perpetrate. So, if it were up to you, you would take away my right to protect my family as I see fit and the ability to, if it ever came to it, put food on my table in the event of an emergency? Sorry. You have the bad argument.
Yes, those things are useful. Much more useful then a gun. That was my point. A gun is designed to do one thing, kill.
I never said I wanted to take guns away. I'm not against gun ownership. You want to have a rifle, shotgun, or handgun in your house I'm all for it. It's our right as citizens of the USA. I just think your argument is flawed. A automatic rifle or machine gun have only one use, & are FAR more dangerous then a hatchet. Like I said, bad argument.
