NFA is bad law and could easily be overturned - especially if Miller, Heller, and Bruen are appropriately applied. The only thing that *may* not pass "in common use" muster would be machine guns - but if there are 200,000+ legally registered machine guns out there, even that would probably fall. Or if one applied "in common use" to include government agencies - then it certainly falls. And of course Miller states that a gun suitable for military use would be expressly allowed, so IF that were applied then - almost everything becomes fair. Short barrels, machine guns, suppressors, destructive devices - all fair game, because its all used by the military.
Then there are the simple words "shall not be infringed" - which simply requires SCOTUS justices have a spine and real the text of the second literally.
The only people who don't want the NFA thrown out are anti-gunners and NFA collectors who intend to sell their guns some day to fund their retirement, and suppressor makers who don't want to cut the cost of their products by half or more in order to remain competitive in a wide open market. Suppressors shouldn't even be a 4473 item - they're a damn screw-on tube that reduces noise - not a firearm. They should be no harder to buy than a magazine, a trigger group, a spare spring, or a box of ammo (sorry, Californians - I'm referring to those of us in non-commie occupied territory - I'm rooting for you though!)
