People certainly do legally own automatic weapons. And an 8 year old shouldn't be handling one any more than he should be handling any other kind of gun. Trying to claim that that has anything to do with the legality of "assault weapons" or whether or not they're automatic or not is at best disingenuous and an appeal to emotion instead of facts. You might as well say that if you're not for banning guns, you're with the terrorists.

Any gun can be fatal; you're the only one deliberately trying to confuse semi-auto rifles with automatic weapons.
