Nope, she's probably confusing that with the closing of the registry. To own NFA guns (those controlled under the National Firearms Act) like full-auto you must fill out paperwork, get approved and pay for a tax stamp. The gun has to be registered also. The registry was closed (defunded I think) in 1986. This is why they are rare and expensive. They are still made for law enforcement and the military, but we common folk cannot own the new ones because there is no way to register them. That's about it as best I can recall, and anyway someone will be along shortly to correct me even if I did get it right.
