You guys are missing the point. Back in 1934 when the NFA came into exsistance, there was a LOT of federal agents sitting around with nothing to do. They used to keep busy by going out and busting people for drinking or making alcohol, but now they just had nothing to do. So they made up a whole new bunch of thoughtless and stupid laws to keep them busy. Such as registering full autos, and suppressors. These were really useless laws, but hyped up because of all the gangland shoot ups....which for the most part went away when booze was legalized again. These laws were not about a 200 dollar tax, but were about CONTROL and keeping a lot of feds busy. I also love how corporations got themselves exempted from these laws....even today many class 3's are owned by "corporations" as hard assets. This is done when the local CLEO will not sign off on a private form 4....but he has NOTHING to say when it is done by a corporation, as it is all federal.
BTW, one of the funniest T-Shirts I ever saw was the one that said on the front...."Don't tell my mother I'm an NFA dealer." ... and on the back "She still thinks I own a chain of whore houses."
