There's a pretty good video about it…originally they wanted to ban handguns and didn't want poors just sawing down a shotgun or rifle to make one.I don't recall having an actual "question" IIRC (and I did look back) it was more of an observation that the info available on firearms used by depression era gangsters doesn't tend to support the idea that SBR's were in common usage by said gangsters. And yes, the Thompson, but they stole those in that configuration and didn't saw them off.
I stand by what I said before: Gangsters were the 'reason' but The Poors * were the actual target of the NFA
* And minorities, but that's for another day
