LRRPF52, I believe you are thinking of the second AW import ban, the '14 part' legislative action, "the Unsoeld Amendment," named after Democrat Rep. Jolene Unsoeld, not signed by the sion of the Nazi financier.... but by Clintoon (rhymes with spittoon).

The 1986 FOPA Amendment banning MGs was the "Hughes Amendment", ruled as passed by Rangel in the middle of the night.

In the morning hours of April 10, 1986, the House held recorded votes on three amendments to FOPA in Record Vote No's 72, 73, and 74. Recorded Vote 72 was on H.AMDT. 776, an amendment to H.AMDT 770 involving the interstate sale of handguns; while Recorded Vote 74 was on H.AMDT 770, involving primarily the easing of interstate sales and the safe passage provision. Recorded Vote 74 was the controversial Hughes Amendment that called for the banning of machine guns. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), at the time presiding as Chairman over the proceedings, claimed that the "amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended, was agreed to." However, after the voice vote on the Hughes Amendment, Rangel ignored a plea to take a recorded vote and moved on to Recorded Vote 74 where the Hughes Amendment failed.[6][7] The bill, H.R. 4332, as a whole passed in Record Vote No: 75 on a motion to recommit. Despite the controversial amendment, the Senate, in S.B. 49, 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 to become Public Law 99-308, the Firearms Owners' Protection Act.

The "Tiahrt Amendment" was under Clinton.

I don't believe that Reagan signed any executive order banning MGs…the FOPA did that with the Hughes Amendment. I suspect some internet blogger levied the "executive order" myth and it has been perpetuated by some erroneously. But I'd be happy to be corrected with evidence of said executive order.

Edit:
Yup…searched database on Reagan's executive orders. Nothing on firearms, guns, machine guns. Pure myth. See http://www.archives.gov/federal-register...eagan.html
