Is why ban them if they aren't being used in crimes? At least legally owned machine guns have not seen much if any use in criminal activity. The fact that they were made illegal has not stopped people from getting them and using them for criminal acts has it?

I'm all for less laws and simpler laws when that is possible. This hughes amendment was just yet another solution looking for a problem IMHO.
