We don't have easy access to automatic weapons (sadly), they're are predominantly semi automatic
The term “automatic” is quite often used to refer to semi-auto. I believe this is because people with any training tend to ignore the full-auto option unless they’re filming a Hollywood movie.
While it wasn’t the point of the discussion, many guns are designed in such a way that illegal fire mode conversion is pretty easy, for instance with bump-stock attachments.
I hope there’s some sarcasm behind the “sadly” portion. Aside from collecting views for YouTube from target range spraying, the only use case I can think of for them is gunning down crowds of innocent people.
