Speculation and no evidence to show reliably that the NFA "caused" FA to not be in common use. I don't think a court would buy it. I don't either. As stated before I thik the evidence points to the idea that most citizens don't view FA as a suitable SD weapon. That idea gets skewed on a gun forum with rabidly progun folk but being popular in gun circles does not make a type of firearm common to most of society.
