The actul licence to fly a plane is very inexpensive... perhaps you are talking about flight school?
Now.. the evil machine guns.... those used in the LA robbery... we should be glad that the robbers made such a poor choice and that everyone involved was such poor shots. any standard hunting rifle in the hands of the crooks would have done many times more damage than the piddly lillte AK's spraying and praying.. Hunting arms are many times more powerful and could have penetrated body armor and vehicles and a trained and skilled marksman would have killed.... estimate? 30 cops that day.... even a lever action hunting rifle would have been worse for the cops. It wasn't the full auto AK's that were causing the cops problems it was the body armor the bad guys wore and the lack od a decent weapon to penetrate said armor... you will note that cops now have full auto "assault weapons" in most vehicles (at least in Kalifornia) here.
the point is... someone will allways abuse their freedom... you do not use that to take away the law abidings rights... not in a free country.. as an example... say that an insane person used a private plane to crash into a school yard with a full tank or loaded with a fertilizer bomb.... would you ban private planes for all? what if two a year did it? three? The potential for great harm is there.... what about swimming? people drown.... people drown trying to save em. not just a few.... thousands a year. No one NEEDS to swim.
What do you do besides attend classes and attack bad guys with your bare hands? I bet I could make a case for banning it.
so excuse me if I don't want to be left to your tender mercies and bizzare uneducated logic as to what types of weapons you would allow me to have... you seem much to "progressive" and fickle and trendy to have such power over the rest of us. You don't know anything about guns and you don't even know what you want in any case.

1) I have been saying PPL 5k from the beginning of that whole line of thought.
2)I do the same. I work and go to school. And have been doing that for the last 8 years. I will get done eventually, but I won't quit until I graduate.
3) It's hilarious that you can claim my education is "limited and propaghandized" by me not agreeing with you on guns. That shows Your limited mentality and how everything comes down to guns with you.
4)Yeah right, Rifles wouldn't have stood up for 2 minutes against the entire LAPD. THe only reason that went on so long is the combination of body armor and that they were Full Auto's with huge drums of ammo.
5)Maybe with extensive background checks and licensing I would have no problem with Full auto's being legal. Oh wait, it already is like that. Get your paperwork in order and you can own them. Can't afford it? Tough.
6) Already pointed out to you that laws were tightened around Ammonium nitrate after mcviegh did OK City. So your example works against you. Yes, I would expect laws to be stricter after such an occurence in order to prevent repeats/copycats.
7)LMAO you are comparing swimming to fire-arms? WoW
8)Already told you no full auto's is what I agree with. I have stated it several times. It's 1 sentence. Sorry if its so hard for you to grasp.
9)Lasz simple question, Can you or Can you not purchase a fully automatic weapon if you get the proper licenseing and register it?
