I added that inflation number (or one like it) to the modern equivalent cost of a suppressor a couple of times for illustrative purposes.
The point was they were dishonest in attempting to circumvent what is probably the most simply and clearly stated limitation on the power of the government in the entire Constitution.
True in 1934, true today.
You can call it "interest balancing" if you want to, but all the "interest balancing" was done by the colonies who endorsed the Bill Of Rights. Those old boys, with their knowledge that all governments tend to limit freedom, knew what the hell they were doing.

If they could pull that one off, they could piss on the Constitution any way they wanted without even closing their flies afterwards.
True in 1934, true today!
