That's why I used the term "pretty much" illegal. As you point out, they are extremely difficult and expensive to obtain.
However, the latest news is that he had an AR-15 or several AR-15s that had been converted from semi to fully auto. That makes a lot more sense.
The only solution to this problem is, as you point out, changing society or changing our culture.
