Did George Bush lift the Automatic Weapons ban. If so does that mean weapons that are automatic and made after 1986 legal?
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.
