I personally see no reason why fully automatic weapons should be kept from the populace as well.
The reason why the second amendment is there at all is for the purpose of revolution. If the government gets out of hand, the people have the right to get rid of it and instate a new one. Banning automatic weapons makes no sense in this respect because if a revolt ever breaks out (hypothetically speaking), how could people who decide to revolt have a chance against the cops, let alone the military?
In my opinion, if all guns of any kind are banned, then only the government will have them and thats a scary thought in my mind. The second amendment is there so the government has a reason to fear the people if those in power choose to abuse them.
