Automatic weapons are quite rare and expensive. It takes approximately $25,000 and over a year of background checks and paperwork just to obtain one automatic rifle. They are tracked extensively by the US government.

The number of automatic weapons used in crime in the last 50 years is quite low. In fact, the last documented use of automatic weapons in crime was in 1997, and the guns were illegally modified to be automatic. The last documented time a LEGAL automatic weapon was used in a crime was in 1988.

Now this is based on my own research, and I may have missed some, and if you can point me to them, I'll be happy to learn.

Automatic. Weapons. Are. Not. Used. In. Crimes.

Wasn't a MAC-10 used in a mass shooting attempt at Times Square just like ten years ago? Don't think it made too much news because the gun jammed because he held it like an idiot iirc.

Just one example that pops in to my head that's more recent than 97. Sure there's more. Doesn't have to have fatalities to be a crime.
