NFA shenanigans

Found an interesting document from the BATFE while doing something else this morning, and it made me think about an earlier post.

So the ATF has always told us the purpose of the National Firearms Act is to raise revenue, but here we have their own document stating the purpose is to

limit the availability of machine guns, short-barreled shotguns, short-barreled rifles, sound suppressors (silencers), and other similar weapons that were often used by criminals during the Prohibition Era.

Not what we were told? Unpossible.

And of course, they then admit that the NFA was expanded in 1986 to cover even more weapons.

Doesn't limit sound something like infringe?
