I don't the two are connected in any way.
Well, what's the motivation/purpose of gun control laws?
The National Firearms Act is gun control that pretty much everyone agrees is necessary.
No, pretty much everyone agreed that it wasn't necessary, but they passed it anyway. The NFA was a response to the result of progressive social engineering - alcohol prohibition. It was idiotic progressivism that gave us the volstead act which in turn led to a massive increase in street violence, much in the same way as the drug war does today:
As soon as prohibition was repealed in 1933 the homicide rate dropped like a stone, but the scumbag progressives didn't let the crisis go to waste and passed the NFA in 1934 anyway, even though all of the scumbags knew it wasn't necessary.
