I haven't seen law enforcement confirmation of the weapons used. But if speculation is correct that at least one of the weapons were fully auto, the Feds have already made those extremely difficult to obtain through approved channels. Its seems more likely that someone would need to circumvent the law to obtain one...
...which of course is the argument typically raised by the gun rights crowd when the subject of more gun control laws comes up.
