Whatever one calls these deadly weapons, is immaterial.  It does not matter.   It is quibbling over trivia at best.

What does matter is that these monstrous and inhuman instruments of death have no business at all of being in the hands of ordinary citizens like yourself.    For example, if you were to go crazy tomorrow, you could then murder people by the dozens.

You have no right to have this kind of firepower at your disposal.   There is no reasonable or rational justification, that anyone can make, that can justify having such weapons in our society today
