Automatic riles are already illegal under the NFA, with only 1980’s and older examples allowed for sale at all with extensive background testing and $200 tax stamps. Since the supply of old automatic guns is small, they cost tens of thousands of dollars and as such just aren’t used in crimes.
Cops don’t get less antsy when they know you have a gun, they get more antsy. It’s because of “us vs. them” warrior cop culture that tells cops everyone not a cop can and will kill them, and that they need to fight to survive every day. It’s dangerous bullshit.
Also, concealed carry for self defense is also a significant legitimate thing people do with guns, you are just characterizing hunting and target shooting as the only “legitimate” things to do with guns.
