Lets go back to 1939 US vs. Miller. Tax on a sawed off shotgun was upheld to the NFA because it wasn't a militia weapon at the time. WWI used 20" shotguns. The opinion stated militia weapons were constitutional. Today select fire short barreled rifles with suppressors are the infantryman's weapon (M4/M5). Short barreled shotguns of 10" and 14" are issued to US military in the 870 MCS and M26 (under barreled)
Go back to the Second Militia Act of 1792. 18-45 yo were required to bring their own arms (ie militia weapons of the time) with ammo, bayonet, hatchet and kit. Read todays 10US Code 246 Militia: Organized and Unorganized. The Unorganized are NOT supplied arms and therefore implied need to supply their own. The NFA is in violation of Text, History and Tradition and there for unconstitutional. As there were NO bans on militia weapons till that time. Sullivan Act was 1902 and just found unconstitutional.
