Machine guns as a whole were determined to have no sporting purpose, and, thus, any machine gun imported after 1968 are able to be owned only by dealers, military, and police agencies. Now the last piece of machine gun legislation is to many the coup de grace, in 1986 the Firearm Owners’ Protection Act was intended to prevent the federal government from creating a registry of gun owners. At the last minute, William Hughes added an amendment that called for the banning of machine guns. Despite the controversial amendment, the Senate adopted H.R. 4332 as an amendment to the final bill. The bill was subsequently passed and signed on May 19, 1986 by President Ronald Reagan. Thus, Reagan’s signature banned the registration of new machine guns in the USA.
