Full auto's aka Machineguns were banned from importation by the 1968 Gun Control Act. The domestic manufacture of new machineguns was banned by the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act.
With the exception of federally licensed dealers/manufactures, there are no new machineguns either made in the USA or imported.
All "transferrable" machineguns legally registered prior to May, 1986, are still available for civilian sale and possession.
The Brady Act "Interim" did not apply to machineguns. The "interim" was the period between February 28, 1994 and November 30, 1998, when the official "Brady Act" took over. It dealt with the waiting period for handguns and the procedure of how the background check took place. In most states, it was replaced by the NICS "Instant" background check.
Again, it had nothing to do with machineguns or with semi-automatic firearms that look like machineguns.
