    Fully automatic firearms are not banned in all states but heavily regulated. They are used in basically no crimes though because of extensive background checks, registration process, and cost. A really shitty one is several thousand dollars, one that someone would actually desire is tens of thousands.

      Legal full-auto access is mostly not a thing due to cost. There is a partial ban in that new full-auto can’t be imported or manufactured for civilians. That directly affects the cost and thus only available for the rich or companies with the cash and paperwork.
