I am thinking they were but I could be mistaken and don't know the details. I do know the constitutionality of the NFA 1934 was challenged in court. The plantiff's attorney failed to show at the final hearing and the judge ruled for the government on that basis. Turns out the plantiff's attorney didn't show because he was dead. Turns out he was dead because he had been murdered. Coincidence?
Based on the Supreme Court's recent ruling in the New York case there is speculation both of these laws could be ruled unconstitutional even if they were passed by Congress and signed by the President.
