Hey I’m not saying they are nothingburgers. Please prosecute them! Please! But even shooting in a crowd, someone without experience with these things is going to do less damage on full auto than on semi auto, because after the second or third shots, they’re all going to be going up into the sky. Same reason the military took full auto off the M4, and doesn’t provide any full-auto handguns. The future of full-auto in the military is using tiny low-recoil bullets in specially designed guns, like the H&K MP7. But even that requires some training.
I’m not making any argument that these are ok, only that these are much less scary in real life than they sound, and that I’ll be happy if criminal shooters get an extra federal decade due to these. I’m happy when criminals fail themselves.
