The Kennedy fortune comes from bootlegging during prohibition. My guess is that their operation competed with deep state goon grifts. And they probably refused to pay the DS their tribute. Kinda makes the mafia gang wars of the 20s and 30s take on a different light. Wouldn’t it be some shit to find out that the NFA was passed to give the goons a means of prosecuting the bootleggers that outcompeted them based on their firearms? No clue if that is remotely grounded in reality but these days anything is possible.
