You are absolutely correct when it comes to self-defense as a CIVILIAN. There literally isn't a circumstance that I could think of where you would need to use a FULL AUTO for self-defense while living in the US (even the ****ty parts). Multiple reasons include stray bullets, bad aim, well, useless. On a battlefield or circumstance in which heavy cover is required (secret service comes to quick mind), or a massive attack, full autos are absolutely essential. As a civilian, there isn't a SELF DEFENSE USE.
WITH THAT SAID, guns are GREAT hobbies to get involved with. If you have the money to own and/or acquire a full auto weapon, GO FOR IT. I have had the pleasure of shooting them (you can rent them at the range) and they are WELL worth it.
Finally, I will be picking up my semi-auto Robinson Arms XCR tuesday night (can't wait for the Sig 556 anymore).
