3. You already can buy full auto.

Requires a license from the ATF. It's not that hard to get. $200 and a few months of background check.

take it into any city as long as I have my license, just like a car?

Nope. Try to bring a car to California without "California Emissions". When you move to California you're required to re-register your car, and you can't do that without the emissions package.

Thus localities would still be able to increase restrictions on guns, just like they can increase restrictions on cars.

No body did a background check last time I bought a car.

Actually, they did.

If you got a loan or a lease, the bank did one.

Even if you didn't, the dealer was required to confirm you have a valid drivers license, which is a background check. Albeit a very quick one.
