regulation on suppressors comes from the National Firearms Act of 1934, motivated at least in part by gangland slaughters like the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. Capone's guys used suppressor that day?
Never heard that one before.

They did not. The NFA’s excuse was indeed the hoopla surrounding brazen violence, including the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, but the suppressors were added to the legislation during discussion in congress. There was very little discussion at the time, and no apparent tie to the excuse given for the NFA.
