From the article:

“Require background checks for people trying to buy some of the most dangerous weapons and other items through a trust or corporation. The National Firearms Act imposes restrictions on sales of some of the most dangerous weapons, such as machine guns and sawed-off shotguns. But because of outdated regulations, individuals have been able to avoid the background check requirement by applying to acquire these firearms and other items through trusts, corporations, and other legal entities. In fact, the number of these applications has increased significantly over the years—from fewer than 900 applications in the year 2000 to more than 90,000 applications in 2014. ATF is finalizing a rule that makes clear that people will no longer be able to avoid background checks by buying NFA guns and other items through a trust or corporation.”

Silencers fall in this catagory as well. They certainly can NOT be called some of “the most dangerous weapons”.

But because of outdated regulations

Those 'outdated' (whatever that means) regulations still violate the Second Amendment.

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Repeal the National Firearms Act, the NAZI inspired Gun Control act, and the Hughes Amendment.
