Automatic weapons are expensive, because they require tax stamps and other various legal work to own and operate.
To the best of my knowledge, legally-owned and purchased automatic weapons simply aren't used in crime. It'd be somewhat like hitting somebody with a Learjet: sure, you could do it, but there are a lot cheaper ways.

Even the more broad/vague "assault weapons" are hardly used (i.e., 1-2% of crimes).
