What is the National Firearms Act (NFA) and how does it relate to this legal debate?

The NFA, enacted in 1934, imposed regulations on specific firearms like machine guns. The current legal debate, stemming from the Bruen decision, questions whether the NFA's restrictions are consistent with the historical tradition of firearm ownership required by the Supreme Court.
