Yes and no. Manufacture of full auto firearms for civilian commercial sales ceased in 1986. Any full auto weapon manufactured and registered prior to the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 is still transferable. To purchase one, you need to be willing to shell out a lot of money, and be approved for a Class III NFA tax stamp. Your likelihood of being approved varies by state.
Other than that, any means of purchasing a post-86 full auto firearm require you to have an FFL (Type 1, Type 7, Type 10) with a Class II Special Occupational Tax Stamp, a law enforcement letterhead approving the purchases of those firearms as dealer samples, and the understanding that those are not transferable.
No, the ban on automatic weapons was never lifted. Fully automatic firearms imported before the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968 and manufactured domestically before the passage of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 (including imported firearms refitted with the appropriate number of US made components required to be considered US manufactured firearms) are still the only fully automatic firearms transferrable to civilian customers. Licenced FFL dealers with the appropriate Special Occupational Tax stamp may still receive imported and domestically manufactured automatic weapons after those dates, but only as dealer samples, and these cannot be transferred to civilian customers.
As a private citizen in the US- you can't. The TAVOR was introduced AFTER the ban on registration of new fully automatic weapons in the US (May 1986).
Because its fully automatic, and was not importable pre 1986 (when the assault weapons ban was introduced). Only fully automatic weapons produced pre 1986 and were already legally owned in the US are now legal in the US. Although it IS legal for Police Departments to own Glock 18's, if they have been trained by Glock. It is also legal to own (in certain states, with strict stipulations), a Glock 17 (or any other model besides the 18) with a fully automatic sear. Which is essentially a Glock 18. **I Am NOT A Lawyer***
Its a federal offense...and so comes with an automatic weapons ban.
Mitt Romney does not have the authority to unilaterally ban assault weapons.
The Federal Assault Weapons ban came into effect on the 13th September 1994. The law expired on the 13th September 2004. Some states still have a similar ban in effect.
The assault weapons ban worked in that it reduced the number of crimes committed with the banned guns, but it did not reduce crime overall.
Yes. Mexico has a ban on nuclear weapons on its soil.
None if you follow all the laws.

The group that lobbied to let the Federal Assault Weapons ban expire without renewal was the National Rife Association. President Bush let the ban expire.
