What was the Trump DOJ's stance on the NFA in this case?

What are the main legal arguments against the NFA in U.S. v. Robinson?

The primary arguments are that the NFA's criminal penalties for possessing unregistered SBRs violate the Second Amendment, especially after the Bruen decision, and that the NFA's $200 fee is an unconstitutional tax exceeding Congress's powers under the Tenth Amendment.

What is the significance of the Miller and Bruen cases in this challenge?
