    How have there been newer full-auto weapons on the market? I thought everything registered after 1986 was banned (not technically, but the ATF wouldn’t approve the tax stamp to register anything after 1986).

      For the general public, there aren’t. If you want a machine gun of new manufacture, you have to go through the whole process to be licensed as a manufacturer, SOT, FFL type whatever. I forget exactly. And you have to show you’re actually doing business to get and keep that license.
