Yes, but to use your analogy, this is what did happen. Assault Rifles (aka very light machine guns) were regulated starting in 1934, again in 1969 and 1986. You can no longer purchase a fully automatic firearm made after 1986.
The 1994 ban was on a made up class of semi-automatic rifles that "LOOKED" similar to the Assault Rifles. They were in fact no different than standard hunting rifles except the stocks were black plastic.

I am opposed to government funding of research on the grounds that if it is worth pursuing, some one will fund it. I am opposed to most spending by governments, since usually it is not effciently used.
The Bridge to nowhere. It would be more cost effective to buy out the residents and move them.
