References to SMG's and the like don't really argue against the US. It's very difficult to get any multiple-shot weapon here. Most any found will be black market or ones people have converted. Without fully automatic capabilities, an AK-47 is just a hunting rifle with poor accuracy.
Swords were just made for killing people, too.
And, since it's a heck of a fine missile weapon, do we outlaw the bow too? You ain't taking my bow -- unless it's (say it with me) from my cold dead hands.
