In Canada there is more a less a ban on full autos. Theres only a few exceptions, if you military you of course can have a full auto on the job. If you have one of those grandfathered full auto liscences, full autos were banned in the 70's and those with liscences were allowed to keep them but no more have been issued. The next and the one I benefit from is a Movie liscence given to an armoury business, this allows anyone on the bussiness liscence to transport and shoot "movie" guns, of course movie guns can only fire movie blanks but the exeption is that the guns have to be tested and are legally allowed to be taken the range and fired with live ammo. But a ban on full autos won't help as illegal ones are easy to get. Customs here on the west coast are severly under-staffed. Years back when the USSR broke up a large number of crappy russian, czech etc. full autos ended up in the local black market, it was so bad that they were trying to sell them in the local gun stores. Of course this was never really put on the news as there really isn't a way to stop it. Plus all the drug runners going across the border are continually bringing in more illegal arms from the states, recently the rcmp were able to stop one shipment. I could go on, but I highly doubt any amount of laws will stop the illegal importing, manufacturing, converting of full autos.
All of these people that are saying there should be a ban on full autos, have you ever shot one? Live rounds or blanks doesn't matter but do you have any personal experience to come to the conclusion that there is no reason to own one? If not how do you form an opinion on something you've never done? Isn't the best way to learn something is through experience, or is putting your faith in the government, media, special interest groups to tell the truth good enough to base an opinion on?
