No offense, brother, but that is just a little too conspiratorial a statement to be taken seriously. "They" are not really a monolithic block of automatons, and I don't think that "hate" has anything to do with this. Most politicians are pragmatists, and they will usually avoid anything that amounts to a frontal assault on a powerful constituency. That places the onus on us to speak (a) with a reasonable voice, and (b) in sufficient numbers. Not whizzing in your Wheaties at all, but "they hate YOU" just doesn't strike me as an extraordinarily reasonable stance.
You may be right about the purpose of the NFA registry, but the evidence of the past three-quarters of a century would seem to refute this.
