"automatic weapons have been banned in the usa for decades."
Actually they technically aren't, just very heavily regulated. We should loosen those regulations, too.

Try "Remove those regulations, too." After all, if the Founding Fathers intended us to be able to stand up to our government, which is most certainly armed with automatic weapons, we should be able to have them, too. In fact, under the Constitution, we ARE. Single-shot rifles, shotguns, and pistols were the most common in that age, but not by any means the ONLY weapons available.
