  35. They tried to hide the hearings from the NRA, but NRA members notified the NRA leadership, so the NRA president showed up to testify and persuaded the members of Congress to drop the pistol provisions from the legislation. He was an Olympic gold medalist pistol competitor and Pistol collector who complained that if he had to pay a $5 stamp tax for all of his pistols he would not be able to afford it. He also explained that pistols could be used for self-defense and they had many newspaper clippings dating back to the late 1800s documenting this fact. They were also trying to categorize semi-automatic firearms with 12 round + magazine capacity as "machine guns" and the NRA President Explained to them that this was incorrect, that it took a single function of the trigger every time to fire a round with a semi-automatic. They also said they weren't concerned about actual machineguns, just Thompson Submachineguns that could be concealed under coats. J. Edgar Hoover's Federal Bureau of Incompetence informed the AG and committee members that there was a 500,000-strong army of bank-robbers like John Dilinger "out there" ready to wreak havoc across America, and if they passed this law, it would allow Federal agents to arrest them and send then straight to jail "without having to go through the complicated trials". They brought in Colt to testify about how many Thompson SMGs they made, which turned out to only be 20,000 in 1921, most of which still had not been sold by 1934 due to their high cost ($185-$200).
