Supressors were included in the Firearms Control Act of 1934 to stop game poaching. Because of the Depression, many people were forced to illegally hunt to feed their families.

I looked at the: NRA President's Testimony During Congressional Debate of the National Firearms Act of 1934

There was really no discussion on suppressors though.
