Look at the event that brought about the AWB, the bank robbery in LA where the two criminals had full auto AK47s. They wounded 9 cops and a number of civilians, but they didn't kill anyone. If they fired on semi-auto, I'd be willing to bet that they would have killed a few people atleast. Why? Because it isn't as scary, thus the police wouldn't have hid as much behind cover, taken more chances, gone out into the open more, etc.

Anyway, I could go on about this but I'll digress.
