Congress passed a ban on machine gun ownership in 1986.
Why does even our side continue to get the facts wrong? Congress did NOT ban machine gun ownership in 1986. It only outlawed letting any newly manufactured machine guns to enter the registration. All it did was drive the prices of currently existing machine guns through the roof. It is still perfectly legal to sell or transfer currently registered machine guns, so long as they register it with a new stamp. Some states, however, do have acutal bans on them.
