It goes back to the '20s and '30s when gangsters and bank robbers, like Bonnie and Clyde, were modifying their weapons into what they called "whipit guns". They would take a weapon, such as a surplus BAR or 12 gauge shotgun, and cut down the barrels and stocks to make them fit better under a jacket. They would then attach a leather strap to form a loop that would go over their shoulder enabling the gun to hang there, under the jacket or coat, until they had to "whip it out". This led to the passage of the NFA. This again proves that criminals won't be affected by such laws, as it did not stop the production of "whipit guns". The NFA needs to go the way of the dodo.
